I agree. I didn't stay very healthy when I was working a day job and also working nights / weekends. It was exhausting.
Unfortunately I didn't have enough savings to be able to quit my job. It was definitely a trade off.
- news_to_me 6y agoThat’s fair, and I assume it worked out ok for you in the end. I imagine people who are able to pull that off know who they are. Definitely understand the trade off. I just think as general advice for young programmers, “work 60+ hour weeks” is very much the wrong message. Stay healthy and let your passion drive your work.
