is there a real correlation between working 100 hours weeks in isolation and earning enough of a "jackpot" to retire? the people who i know who did make enough to retire (if they wish) almost all still have friends and families (caveat: if they didn't have friends, they would also be less likely to know me).
both the post (and the sentiments) that inspired seem to be based on false premise: you can't, realistically, expect a jackpot in one year. working 100 hours won't create a jack pot for you either (but it may alienate those who are likely to increase your chances - co-founders, employees and helpful friends).
