I imagine that part of the sweatshop mentality comes from those who burn out. Not being negative about them at all. When you are in it and excited then long days and nights aren&#x27;t a hardship but it can get that way. I doubt there are many who will stay the course with spacex if that is the mentality there but they get to cut their teeth there and branch out to the rest of the industry.<p>Normally I would be critical of that type of workplace, which is how I feel about Amazon when the stories of that workplace are aired. But I give spacex a pass because they are aiming for something no one has done before. Busting some amazon coders balls to raise the profits of the company is a piss poor reason for stressing people out, going to the red planet however.
