Can't wait to see some examples of this being used. Cool project Hayk!

In fact, I think setting appropriate personal boundaries is extremely important. A lot of devs recognize 'hour creep'. You know, stay in a few days until 6, and before too long, it becomes expected. I am saying this as a founder and someone who puts in as many possible hours.
At first, I thought, "Are you guys not really in the game?". But now I recognize that there are only a few people who I should really expect to be on that level, and it should be made explicitly clear from the get-go.
In this case, there is a clear metric that the employee is facing. However, this person certainly adds quite a bit of value.
I think this is worth confronting management over. But I also agree, that if there is a rare occurrence for weekend work, then that is also part of the team. Rather than quit outright, like many suggest, I would confront management very clearly about your personal boundaries and ask them explicitly what is the gulf between their expectations and what you are giving.
However your other expenses are near the mark for a 'student' lifestyle, but a little on the low side...
Congrats to you if you currently save at that rate.
I have tried to be courteous to everyone who has applied where I am. However, keep in mind that one recruiter may be dealing with 20-50 applicants in that week.
And it is never fun rejecting people. It is easy to want to put it off.
My preferred style was to iteratively build equations over a few slides, explaining the pieces as I went, and having a legend for coefficients/terms.
I like the concept and hope to download a future iteration. Just some feedback.
