I don't understand your biggest concern. How is it a bad thing that you're setting the example of making sure you have quality time at dinner with your family?

I don't understand your biggest concern. How is it a bad thing that you're setting the example of making sure you have quality time at dinner with your family? Especially if you're doing work after you put the kids to bed to make sure that stuff gets done that needs to get done.

Perhaps you've never been at a startup with recent college grads. 10 to midnight is a common schedule. That kind of work ethic isn't healthy, but recent college grads don't notice and even seem to enjoy it. What is does yield? A hell of a lot of code and an obvious boost in absolute productivity. I would like engineers to work those hours with enthusiasm. My concern is that this wouldn't happen with a founder that is absent in the middle of their work day. The solution is to have a cofounder that works those hours, I suppose :)
