Cerebras cofounder and CEO Andrew Feldman says it is “mind-boggling” that people believe greatness can be achieved while working a standard 38-hour week and maintaining work-life balance. In remarks reported by The Next Web and Fortune, Feldman argues that the idea of building something extraordinary with limited weekly hours is unrealistic.

Both outlets frame Feldman’s comments as advice to aspiring entrepreneurs about how much time and effort they should devote to building a business. Fortune also notes that Feldman’s stance aligns with other tech executives who have previously suggested that achieving major outcomes requires operating with more intensive time commitments. The Next Web emphasizes Feldman’s characterization of the belief in a balanced schedule as surprising, without focusing on broader comparisons.
