Crudely worded and some unnecessary finger pointing here, but your point is correct, to some extent.
As they say, it's 99% perspiration.
As far as DHH and JF pitching a part-time work ethic, I think you missed the point. DHH frequently talks about his building of Basecamp, and he said that you don't NEED to be working 90 hours a week to make a successful product. Since DHH only had 10 hours a week that he could use to work on Basecamp, he advocated for making every single minute count.
