A rather bad analogy. Super models are not unique in that they take their work home and watch their diet, their skin, etc Plenty of regular models and people that you'll find putting in the same or more. Sure they maximised their chance of success by putting in this effort and by getting out there, etc but that the end of the day they were still lucky with their features, who they met, that persons preferences, etc. As far as the actual topic goes. Sure there is pressure to become a super-coder and again there's some prerequisites like high intelligence but also drive that stems from passion and the ability to focus for extended periods of time. Is one of those things not found either naturally or because he's boxed into some employee role that coder isn't necessarily bad but unlikely to reach that status and is just gonna burn out.
