I am very suspect of 130 hours/week being sustainable at a level of quality anyone would appreciate. I do think it's easier to achieve in a management position.

I am very suspect of 130 hours/week being sustainable at a level of quality anyone would appreciate. I do think it's easier to achieve in a management position. I don't see how a developer can be productive working those hours regularly. But the article seems to imply you should be ready to work that many hours all the time, not during crunch times to get things launched. The latter is definitely possible. But maybe this is just one of those legendary questions people ask to weed out those who would immediately balk because they want to have a life outside of work.
