> David's arguing that the third option is the least conducive to work-life balance. Where does David say this, and why do we consistently upvote arguments to the extreme at HN? DHH is simply saying that encouraging people to work during their free time is a bad thing, and remote access doesn't magically make it okay. Since you offered an example, let me give you another. I have a good friend who came down with the flu early last week (not "flu" as in cold, but the full-fledged flu). All she wanted to do was rest, but because she can work from home her boss insisted she pull 10 hour days while in bed with a fever. They would never have wanted her in the office in that condition, but somehow remote work made it okay. She's still not healthy and hoping to sleep through the weekend to recover.
