Excellent points. Considering I have heard these "Deathbed Quotes" so many times with similar sounding refrain I am just inclined to ignore them. And most people I know and see do drop work for family and friends ever so often as

This 60-80 hrs/week maybe a startup myth. Since Europe in general has far fewer startups than US people hear these wild numbers in Europe far less. For normal big tech worker, or enterprise workers 40 hrs is really the norm. Now many p

Agree. It is same thing with higher ed. Everyone should have college degree . Now even without everyone having it but just 3-4 times then before means there are tons of graduates without jobs, low paying jobs commensurate to years in edu

You made excellent points. As someone looking to solve problems, finish tasks and go home. I just don't feel energized marketing myself if it is not during changing jobs. And measurement has really taken over now. There is little value
