Pachter's right in that every studio crunches and if you can't handle that you should get out, but he's wrong in thinking that devs can't be overworked. Crunch is a common thing but if you're crunching more than two weeks in a row you start losing productivity and at about a month you're getting less done than you would be in a non-crunch day.
And, yeah, there really wasn't any excuse for the Team Bondi stuff. I don't expect to get paid overtime but if I'm working until 3:00 AM it's alright to get in 9:15AM. Crunch is just something that has to be accepted but you have to treat your employess well and with respect. That's what the whole Team Bondi thing is about.
