This guy who is already independently wealthy chose working 16-17h 7 days a week instead of raising his newborn child and thanks his partner for “childcare duties”. Pretty much tells you everything you need to know.
- yawnr 1y agoYeah as someone who has a young child this entire post made me feel like I was taking crazy pills. Working this much with a newborn is toxic behavior and if a company demands it then it is toxic culture. And writing about it as anything but that feels like some combination of Stockholm syndrome, being a workaholic, and marketing spin. Being passionate about something and giving yourself to a project can be amazing, but you need to have the bandwidth to do it without the people you care about suffering because of that choice.

- ec109685 1y agoThe independently wealthy part is strange, but you only live once so folks should find the path satisfies them. As for caring for a newborn, that is the least impactful moment you have with your kids. Seems like he made a reasonable trade-off and will be there for all their formative years.
