Always love seeing projects that indicate focus on code quality and better practices, esp. from Indian companies.

He called people from big companies as lazy (I was coming from a BigCo). At one point, he laughed when I mentioned writing code in a language he felt was outdated.
And of course like any toxic startup they expected me to work 6 days a week.
Is that significantly different from other workplaces in India?
But it was a huge red flag then, and is a bigger red flag today.

Edit: I just searched Blind after writing this and looks like they have maintained the culture
