Everyone has different experiences, but this does not really jibe with the incentive structures of Tech companies. Heroic hackers with legendary exploits are not only lionized, but everyone is rewarded with "pay for performance" incentive structures, and of course, the elusive jackpot of startup glory.
In my experience it's absolutely part of the culture in Silicon Valley that top hackers burn themselves out like this.
Having a normal life seems to be counter to the prevailing mindset and the very real, very palpable monetary incentives.
