Notably, the repo has set records in terms of GitHub Stars in a day: https://github.com/trending Likely because of the Star button the webpage proper.
What’s the old record?
This self advocacy is encouraging and long overdue IMO. The Chinese colloquial term for developer is "码农". Its literal English translation is "code peasants" -- not the most flattering or respectful way to call software engineers. I've recently heard horror stories, where 9-9-6 is no longer enough inside one of the Chinese tech giants, and 10-10-7 is expected (10am-10pm, 7 days/week) I hope this brings about some pos…
Funny. I just read about 996 in a comment on another HN post today. I couldn't believe that schedule could actually exist in Chinese workplace culture so I started doing some research. Sure enough, this hellish schedule is actually quite common and official at major Chinese startups and tech companies. It seems like it's not as common at western companies operating in China. There's even a joke about 007: 0AM-0AM, 7…
BTW, now you know if Chinese programmers are seeking oversea jobs, they are probably not trying to enter your company to steal your techs. No, more likely they're just 996 refugees :)

It could be funny to see the repo/GitHub gets blocked because of this. If it did, that will be a good wake up call for somebody who still sleeping.
I remember reading on HN before that this ‘draconian’ schedule included both a 2 hour lunch and a 2 hour nap after said lunch. While it would still be crazy, it wouldn’t be quite as crazy as it seems any more.

That was my initial thought as well seeing as you can freely and anonymously discuss. But perhaps it's in the government's interest to have the people openly criticize these capitalist practices that have a negative impact on public health?
