This is a strange industry we have for sure ^^ This hustle porn feels really gross to me. You HAVE to code overtime to make it. Ew, disgusting...

Great athletes understand the importance of rest, so should we. I've always like the speech of DHH and Jason Fried from Basecamp about that. You don't need to work 12 hours a day.

I've realized quite some time ago that working 12 hours a day while being exhausted and burned out was FAR LESS productive than working 7-8 hours a day while getting solid sleep.

Good article!
