Comments there were interesting but somewhat depressing read. Seems like startup is still perceived as something where you eat ramen and sleep at work. Is that really so? Will one really do much better spending 18hours a day on startup instead of spending 6? Is it completely impossible that switching tasks and taking care of the baby will provide an opportunity for some insight (kind of "thinking in the shower")? Pure speculation there, but I'd love to know what you think.

Like Tyrannosaurs said ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2555785 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2555785 ), it depends on the nature of the start-up. "thinking in the shower" might work when it is about finding solutions to problems (although kids are rarely that demanding as the shower is)! ...but for the technical part, where those solutions have to be implemented, well, 6 hours per day would be either "employee thinking" or just a "lucky"/"very well designed" model of entrepreneurship.
