  There is such a thing as working too hard, to one's own detriment.

    "Economically, you can think of a startup as a way to compress your whole working life into a few years. Instead of working at a low intensity for forty years, you work as hard as you possibly can for four. This pays especially well in technology, where you earn a premium for working fast." —Paul Graham

      That kind of ignores how human bodies work when tired and sleep deprived.

        I am definitely not celebrating it. It seems obvious to me that the human with the most stamina will have an edge in any sort of competition that involves hard work, from marathons to startups.

          Startups are not marathons. Working smart is better than working hard

          Marathon ends in 6 hours, if you are very slow. And pacing is considered very important. Pacing does not mean "running as fast as possible from the start".
