There's a difference between creating and putting out fires, though. I enjoy creating, but I can also set it aside long enough to spend some time with someone.

It's amazing to have a SO who understands and accommodates that, but the two shouldn't be confused - it's the difference between having to fix an emergency, and enjoying coding more than sharing a meal with your SO.
- franimal61 16y agoI agree with you, I just want to point out the fact that he (the startup guy) DID go to brunch with his SO. I'm sure that it would have been easier for him to just stay home and work, and go out "some other time" or something like that. I really like that it seems like they both compromised on brunch that day. He joined her for brunch, and she was alright with him doing work at brunch. Seems like they have a really good relationship.
