This definitely resonates. The number of divorces, affairs, and broken families I saw on the agency side was significant. One guy I worked with basically just had his parents looking after his kids while he worked all the time. He put up a brave face at the office, but I'm certain it was turmoil on the home front.

There is always another client who may want a rush, but truly only one family to take care of. Individual devs knowing what success means to them is certainly more powerful than any image fed to us.
