Maybe we don't understand each other. I love hacking. But, it is harder, at least for me, to work all day and late into the night if there is something more interesting to do. I think it is harder to work the hours many startups require if there are distractions. I think that if I was rich, I would absolutely not be eager to work 12 hour days again. I remember Paul Graham citing his aversion to having to work too damn hard for years and years as the primary reason he did not launch a second startup. Philip Greenspun seems to agree. The point of all of this is to make a great deal of money. Find me a coal miner who showed up to work the day after winning the lottery.
