I don't feel like we should be praising people who do this kind of thing. If you are really into your work, that's wonderful and all the power to you. However I hope that if someone is going to have kids they spend proper time with them, and I don't consider bringing them to work a good way to spend time together unless you want to show them what you do.
Personally I feel like all this "love what you do and be inspired" or whatever is just a ploy by companies to get people to work overtime without overtime pay, but if it makes people happy then I have nothing against it.
I almost want to say there is a group of people who take advantage of young developers by telling them they are super awesome rockstar ninja hybrids and using their ego (or probably more likely, lack of) to get them to work more.. But hey it's all fine because capitalism or something right?
