you'll notice that i'm actually agreeing with you. what's fun for you may or may not be real 'work' in the vernacular sense. hiking is definitely work - even in the strict physical sense of the word. but what about something else, like carpentry or metalworking? these are definitely work, but also definitely hobbies for some people. ycombinator is a venture capital firm and pretty much all they put out has to do with work and money and making lots of it. i was responding to the op who seemed upset that he's reading about work on a site about work... which is bizarre.
