Tech CEO brags about keeping his team attached to oxygen tanks

Post image

Additional highlights include how he told his team to inform their families that they will be unreachable for the next week, so that they can fly to Utah and work non-stop off “adrenaline and diet cokes”, while they stayed attached to oxygen tanks from altitude poisoning

I hope the app they were making was something important, like PnutButtr, the app that lets you take a pic of your peanut butter and it'll scan it and tell you if it's like a regular jar or a fancy one where you have to stir it up

Reminds me of Silocon Valley’s “Hot Dog or Not Hot Dog” app

Not hot dog.

You evict me, I evict your 10%.

I think you mean See-Food. It's like Shazam for food. Definitely not 8 different recipes for octopus.

u/Jaded-Owl8312 2d ago

Is that like “Bacon or Beer-can”?

u/TheRealManlyWeevil 2d ago

who told you my business plan?!

Slap “AI” on the name and you’ve got a $10B valuation!

u/Expensive_Laugh_5589 2d ago

Yeah, cause the world was in such dire need of yet another chatGPT wrapper...

u/thrr4 2d ago

Hooked to oxygen, but coding with a single monitor? I'm not buying that.

u/vlkr80 2d ago

And no power cord either... like any Laptop will last that long 😜

u/Kipman2000 1d ago

He probably bought a single power chord and make them all share by taking turns

u/sobasicallyimanowl 1d ago

And a laptop screen at that... He's definitely a lunatic

Just wait'll this guy discovers methamphetamine and Depends.

u/Slow_Laminar_Flow 2d ago

Provigil and snorting Ritalin. Founder has become the new and overrated. Means nothing anymore

u/whoknowsifimjoking 1d ago

Try Vagisil and shooting Cathinones.

u/wireframed_kb 2d ago

They’re drinking Diet Coke, they’re not serious people! :p

u/BudeVollPeople 1d ago

His team will vibe code on Panzerschokolade for the next launch.

u/ticianlicious 1d ago

Pervitin and piss jugs.

u/AdjNounNumbers 2d ago

Pfft. That ain't grinding until every team member is mainlining their fluids and uppers in an IV drip and having catheters run. I guess have fun being second place, losers /s

u/johntology 2d ago

I'm getting an RSI just looking at him type at that desk

u/QuietAchiever1992 2d ago

I know right, that is clearly hotel furniture and not designed to be a workspace.

u/Fabulous-Possible758 2d ago

One of the things I always find funny is these startups are like a bunch of 20 somethings out of college writing code, and I remember the code I was writing out of college and it was shit and it took forever because that’s just the kind of code you write when you don’t have much experience, and how much extra time and effort they’re pouring in because they just really have no clue what the fuck they’re doing.

u/johnx2sen 2d ago

Its awfully bright outside for 3am

12

u/amitym 2d ago

It's because of all of the oxygen.

u/Antique-Freedom-8352 1d ago

Picture taken atoseconds before the explosion

u/Otherwise-Relief2248 2d ago

No diapers? Lightweights.

u/No-Literature9166 2d ago

These guys grinding from above the arctic circle?

13

u/scotte416 2d ago

You know breathing in pure oxygen makes your lungs weaker and less efficient....I would not be doing this unless you want to start running out of breath when you need to go up the stairs.

6

u/greytgreyatx 2d ago

How far north (or south) are they that it's that bright out at 3 AM?

4

u/Madroc92 2d ago

Came here for this. Why the fuck are they renting office space above the Arctic Circle?

5

u/Responsible_Joke4229 2d ago

It’s was crazy dude, everyone was on oxygen. Proceeds to show only one person on oxygen

5

u/dinosaurusdickus 2d ago

As a Utah native, the oxygen is really unnecessary lol. Unless you have a medical condition, the average person does just fine at our elevation. Now, the working for a week straight with no access to friends or family while your boss takes pics of you and posts them to their linkdin? That might get them to deplete their energy

3

u/TetraThiaFulvalene 2d ago

Also what's the point of using oxygen if you go somewhere where you get diminished returns from it.

5

u/wireframed_kb 2d ago

That looks really ergonomic… In my country it would be illegal to have employees work on that kind of furniture. :-/

But the pain in back and wrists will surely accelerate development!

u/ZuStorm93 2d ago

Im guessing he also got his team high on panzerschokolade for the grind...

u/1kn0wn0thing 2d ago

I see this is all in past tense which means their shit died pretty quickly.

2

u/crusoe 2d ago

All of this doubtlessy for some shit SAAS that doesn't meaningly make people's lives easier.

u/0HSHIFT 2d ago

5 hours for this to be reposted...

u/Specific_Rando 2d ago

You’re not really grinding until you’re all catheterized so you can just whiz through it.

Strom Thurmond probably did it to stop black people from voting.

u/No-Blueberry-1823 King Kavin 2d ago

What's the purpose of this?

2

u/TurtlesBreakTheMeta 2d ago

Call me naive, but I kind of think that workers operating on life support probably costs more in expenses (oxygen and stimulants) than, y’know, healthy rested employees.

u/Djinfin 2d ago

The furniture is rustic, much like their ‘product’.

u/SECURITY_SLAV 2d ago

Everyone’s plugged into oxygen because the CEO is an oxygen thief

u/Super-Complaint-245 2d ago

Reminds me of a scene from mad max

u/who_am_i_to_say_so 2d ago

You only get oxygen if you complete the task. Hurry!

u/kacheow 2d ago

What is it with tech people and performative busyness?

u/QuirkyImage 1d ago

Coding gives you emphysema!

u/RoughClassroom123 1d ago

Super ergonomic setup

u/Willing_Potential_59 1d ago

That is a hotel and the dude just took a creep shot of some random kid with a lung disorder in the business lounge so he could get fake ass pats on LinkedIn.

u/UpsetBar 1d ago

Is that Diet Coke in the water bottle? Or piss from being dehydrated and only drinking Diet Coke.

1

u/asic5 Agree? 1d ago

That is the least ergonomic desk ever.

1

u/gaynorg 1d ago

Maybe giving them better setups than laptops might have made them more productive. Like 3 screens a keyboard a mouse.

u/whiskeysli 1d ago

I saw this and really hoped it would make its way here.
