That's a good point, though I wonder if it points to a mindset difference between tech/startup folks in the US and those in Europe. People who work for US startups seem to be very driven to succeed, regardless of the costs. It's seen as encouraged to constantly work, regardless if if the stress might cause you to keel over before you're thirty. In Europe, there still seems to be an 'eight hours a day is fine' mentality, even in startups and small businesses. The idea that having a family and life and other activities is as important as becoming rich. Maybe the mindset differences can be summed up as 'work yourself to death now but hope to retire early' or 'work less hours but work for more of your life'.
