There's more to life than being a devoper. When you hear people in their 30s dying of heart attacks, you begin to question your reasoning. It's unhealthy to strain yourself to the brink of death for the sake of some symbols on the screen. Everyone doing software development should learn to compartmentalise and devote some of their time to anything but sitting in front of the screen. I'm sorry if this is offensive to you, as an author of this article, but you're subtly encouraging young developers to take the path of self-destruction and burnout. When you're just starting, you tend to submit and work long hours to gain as much experience as possible. Doing all this just to impress your boss is unacceptable and I find it obnoxious. What you've written in this article would have been a benevolent guide for perfectionism striving developers in the 90s era. Things are different now, and CEOs and alike are asking way to much from their employees. The other day at work I had a pleasure of meeting a developer who can't even sit down. He's been neglecting his health, and now he has to go through physical therapy. Had he been more observant of his back pain, he would have taken action much sooner.
This is just the obvious and unfortunately realistic overview of how the word is setup in the 21st century.
