>How is LFJ doing this work while doing honeycomb work also
The answer is simple: he isn't doing Honeycomb work, and nobody there cares as long as it doesn't hurt their bottom line, the bottom line being VC funding.
Productivity is enough of an issue at startups with teams actually
trying to get shit done, and in fairness, they typically do get shit done. Not without unsanctioned bullshitting sessions and general fucking around along the way that can last for hours though.
Now imagine a company where they know they barely have to care because they're someone's ESG wet-dream.
LFJ's productivity on actual work product is probably eclipsed by your average gas station attendant on a really really slow day at the gas station.
