High-flying AI-native companies are back in the office working late, a return of 2015-era hustle culture. Listen

One speaker described seeing about 40 people in Harvey's San Francisco office at 9:30 pm, which reminded him of closing nights with a 150-person sales team around 2015. He said the high-flying AI natives are back in the office and that he respects it, though as a 41-year-old with three daughters he couldn't do it himself. In the same exchange, one speaker said two to three office days a week would be ideal, but that a company chasing an IPO and growing 300% a year makes a different choice.

“It's back, man. And office is back. The AI natives, the ones that are high flying, they're back in the office.”
