    Can you provide some context? Googled oven/Jarred Sumner a bit but only got the usual startup VC trash communication and lackluster interviews…

      They deleted their tweet (or I can’t find it because I refuse to sign into Twitter on my phone) but when oven first started hiring they were extremely condescending towards the idea of work life balance. It’s a startup perpetuating the idea that startup employees need to cut themselves off from their lives and focus on work for minimal benefits - you know, until it “takes off”.

      It caused quite a stir when it was posted, I’m surprised it’s so forgotten now.
