Sleeping Under Your Desk Doesn't Make You A Success

I was also "there" during the late 90s/2000s in the bubble. Saw people who were both successful and many who were part of companies that fell by the wayside (like mine :) ). Regardless of whom you spoke with, after the dust settled, they all agreed how easily it was to get lost in the frenzy. Life is more than work. Life needs to be enjoyed and shared with loved ones. You can be successful at both and infact most people who are successful live well balanced lives.

Thanks for your sanity Rob.

Great post. There's a diminishing return on productivity once you start living your work... and a cost someone pays. Don't let it be your health or your family.

You are awesome, Rob.

I use to think, this guy has so much talent what's he doing in Hawaii. Now I know :)

liked the post a lot

on an interview for a position in a startup I openly said that I have a family and if they expect me to work 10+ hours every day and also weekends that I'm not their guy

and i'm not 9-5 dev by any means

tech come and go, but if I miss how my kids are growing.....

Nice to see a bit of sense in an otherwise polarised argument!
