You should keep in mind that not everyone is able to work "80-hour weeks". I myself would not stand a chance. It is cool if dedicating your life to work like this works out for you, but it is irresponsible to hold it up as some ideal which everyone must aspire to. I'm not sure if this was the intention of your comment, but I get the general sense whenever this subject pops up on HN that you aren't really doing your best if you aspire to a regular 9-5 workweek. Nothing could be further from the truth - I am a very ambitious guy, but I will refuse to work longer weeks unless it is absolutely necessary. And if so, only for a limited amount of time. Violating this will literally ruin my mental health. I am not the only person who works this way.
