It's interesting to see what qualified as worthy of a blog post not so long ago. It takes time and effort to do difficult tasks? You shouldn't overwork? What new insights, let me blog about it :) For those who don't know, the 8 hour work days and holidays were talked about by Adam Smith more than 200 years ago. The reason that system was put in place was because letting people work as much as they wanted led to over-exertion and injuries, lowering productivity. That was for physical labor by the way. In another 200 years, I expect people to finally realize that thinking is harder than repetitive physical labor and one can't do more than a few hours of it, per day. Until then we'll have 'burn out' blog posts and people reading and posting on HackerNews/reddit/twitter during work hours.
