“888” is eight hours each of work, sleep and recreation, which is a great thing.

The ironic part of it is that most of the people doing 996 are building AI to replace humans work. And this is something that we don't talk about when speaking about 996. It's only a privilege, a lot of people would love to have normal job or a 996.

I come from Europe, I've had my high and lows when it comes to work hours, I was a consultant worked a lot, then a freelance and worked 2 day a week, now startup founder (YC) I don't count my hours but I'm close to working 6 days a week. To be honest the 4 years I worked 2 days a week were awesome and I'd wish everyone to reach that state where work is not the most important thing you do each week.
