how do we feel about hustle culture?

i just read a tweet (which i cannot find now thankfully) framing your choices as poverty or buying into that toxic culture.

hustle culture influencers make me irrationally angry because of how they're either unaware of or ignore their overwhelming survivor's bias.

When I first started in the startup world it was so energizing, however it is not sustainable at all. 

I find what is most dangerous is how it is romanticized at the expense of a persons overall well being, and therefore, can also reduce their ability to show up for their communities.

it's definitely romanticized and normalizes treating humans as just raw material for the cogs of capitalism to grind up
