What you say is true, but if you really think about it, if you are going to have this work lifestyle its probably best to be doing it yourself (running your own startup) as why should you, or anyone, work 18 hours straight for an employer? I look at it as that the company knows they may not get optimal coding productivity out of someone who works in the office but they take this into account and it leads to work-life balance. If you want to work non-stop then at least put yourself in a situation to benefit from it directly.
