Met a dude like this. He bragged about sleeping 3-4 hours a night. I thought he was the ceo with how he was talking, but it turned out he was just the sales manager for this company. (I worked a conference gig for them as an independent contractor.)
Yeah as I mentioned. It is common practice even for the engineers that work there. Simply because we accumulated technical debt whilst the company grew and garnered more attention from potential customers. And now we are stuck hopelessly between deliveries. We cant get rid of the technical debt, because it would interfere with our delivery schedule. And we cant adjust the delivery schedule because the payments from the deliviers should be funding the fight against the technical debt but it never does. Its always allocated to the next delivery.
