I used to think like that as a teenager, but honestly I think it is a self-limiting philosophy. Some may find extreme industriousness attractive though. In communist countries they used to give a "Stakhanov-prize" to people who produced the most items in a week or month.

Can't tell if this is serious or satire. Well done.

For others replying here: looking through this user's comment history, pretty much all of their comments are equally snarky and troll-ish.

For the parent: this is very much not appreciated here on HN. Take it elsewhere.

That's not a very kind comment. You can, and should, do better than that to improve the level of discourse on this site above cheap, snarky "cope harder" swipes at someone.

I need the source of this copy/pasta

Never sure who the real winner is.

"and million of dollars of funding talks to your future wife, she will be in love with him and not you, so you lost the competition."

Or not, because while you were always working, working, working, you never had the chance to build up a real relationship and that golddigger who does one day agree to merry you, will exploit you and leave you broken and divorced in a ditch, with children in therapy, because you noticed too late, because you were occupied.

Life is also a competition, but not just that. Mainly it is about finding a healthy balance.
