This seems quite shallow, and uses as unalloyed truths many generalisations and absolutes which are simply not as claimed. Carelessly (or worse) using "always" when you don't mean it to make a thus-unsupported contentious po

So generally one should aim to (and have people around you) work somewhat under 8h/d - 6h/d of core non-mindless seems about optimum IMHO.

I was disagreeing with the apparently absolute 10h boundary even if your hair or child or startup is on fire. I am not one of there people that says you should work at least 32h per day or you've failed, but equally, overly rigid boun

I disagree. (1) is only if you don't really like what gets called 'work' and (2) is only if you don't keep creating start-ups or other new things that at least occasionally need 24h support (which includes children BTW)

Just very generally, event-driven and data-flow architectures have been with us forever, and I have implemented products on them. Should not be too hard to base what you want on that sort of thing.
