We are starting to reflect the way we have organised the world in technology. Everything about life used to be fuzzy but now it's hard lines and definitions. It's going to do strange things to human culture.

We erred by applying ideas from the industrial revolution to our personal conduct. Humans were not meant to live the way modern capitalism demands.

Well that cat is firmly out of the bag by now. You can find a less stressful work environment though, you just need to get rid of the attitude that a strong work ethic is good for you. It’s good for your employer.

I don't see how you draw this conclusion. Working on personal projects at say 22:00 does not preclude you to work out at any other time of the day.

I usually do some programming when the kids and partner have gone to bed but I also do some exercise at lunch together with my partner.

Your workouts aren’t that strenuous. So you don’t need rest and recovery. If you are pushing past your limits, you won’t even have the desire to code in the evenings.

I exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes right after my day job ends. I'm WFH so and have weights and stationary bike in my office, so it's easy to jump onto.
