A good programmer puts in enough time to get their work done with quality results. If you're having to put in 80+ hours a week programming you're either horribly over worked or not a very efficient programmer. It should never be the norm to have to put in 80+ hours a week to be "a good programmer".
80+ hours a week?! That seems very excessive and nobody has to put in 80 hours to call themselves a good programmer imo.
When I see people regularly putting in so many hours (no matter the job), I make sure I'm not around when they come down crashing. Because they will.

Yeah came here to question this as well. This kind of expectation is extremely toxic and stinks of gatekeeping and capitalism.
