After my first contact with a computer in the 1980's, I taught myself to program in BASIC and Z80 assembler. I went on to study Computer Science and have enjoyed a long career in Software Engineering.
Jon,
I could not agree more.
There is another problem with working all the hours you can - you have nothing more to give. I have worked with colleagues who regularly worked 60+hrs a week and when the project required a sprint to the finish they could offer nothing more. Invariable such behaviour has other negative side effects.: Failed marriages, declining health, compromises in quality, etc.
