You said they take many liberties, but you only mention one. I agree with the one you mentioned, but I couldn't really find other issues. What are the other liberties?

To this point, I'd like to know what distinguishes the least productive from the average. Or more plainly stated: what are the traps everyone should avoid to maintain reasonable levels of productivity.

This guy made a lot of really questionable decisions. Put his future and family at risk. His only hit was porting someone else's hit game to iOS. He himself admits he is working again now only so he can build a stash and gamble it al
