I'm hoping that's hyperbole, but even if it is, the notion sickens me. I really hate the normalization of this idea that anyone who works in this field spends their 100% of their leisure time there as well. Get in shape. Make art and music. Build things. Be more than your job. Especially if you have a family. What kind of 1-dimensional example do you want to set for your children?
- imwillofficial 4y agoYour reading comprehension needs Tweaking. The author is clearly showing His family as the priority. I have no idea what you’re getting on about.
- 627467 4y ago> when he is not spending time with his family, he tries to do some bug hunting. OP must be interpreting the above statement which implies that this hacker is either with family or basically doing work related stuff, nothing else
- imwillofficial 4y agoIt’s a tongue in cheek twist on the typical “I work too hard” meme. Basically OP is deriding the author when the author is subverting the exact same trope that disgusts OP.
- cinntaile 4y agoIt's you who misunderstands. He means that the time he doesn't spend with his family is dedicated to work (his fulltime job and the bug hunting) and that this 1-dimensionality doesn't set a good example.
