The YC work cycle firstly unsustainable. It's an aberration by design: work like mad to pump something out.
Secondly it's compounded by investor meetings post demo day. They eat up 30-60% of your time.
Ohh and I don't think DHH is right. There is a direct correlation between time spent on apps tagged 'dev' and getting things done. The only question is whether it can last long enough before you burn out. For me, there is nothing too hard about a 45-55 hour work week, and it seems very sustainable.
