The seems to be a well written article, which can be enjoyed and teach people. Also I kinda support your decision, if you still earn reliably enough and have what you need.
Just a question, because it is kinda hard to believe: Is it actually that easy to "to move to Silicon Valley to work 60–70 hours per week and make $400k a year"? Because this sounds like a chance most people would not reject.

I would reject it. What's the point earning that much if you don't have any time to spend it because you are burnt out.

Besides, how much are you really earning after living costs are taken into account?

I do not know the living costs of Silicon Valley.
