I'm just done with a view that "what matters" is what makes more money for senior executives and shareholders.

  Yep. The article casually mentions that you sacrifice more of your personal life for your career, then just carries on like it's no big deal. Most of us won't build stuff that matters, and even for those who do, it probably won't matter matter enough to sacrifice your personal life. You are not your job.

    The article is aimed at people who have made the life choice of less personal time vs more work/pay. Presumably these people have thought about things and consciously made that decision. There is no reason to tell them they have made the wrong choice.

  “More money” is a very narrow view. Companies care about all sorts of things. Money, power, prestige (some open source projects, publicity). But yeah in general if you’re working for someone it doesn’t hurt to make sure your work matters to them, no?
