It's always fun to pile on, but what I got out of ASJ's post was "love your job for whatever hours you are there."

Negativity begets negativity, but thinking positive and thinking big is just as contagious.

The tone of it was more like: love your job for whatever hours you are there, even if it's 80 hours a week, and if you don't love it, you're not a real engineer, you're in the mediocre majority, and you don't deserve to be there anyway.
I didn't get that. I guess perception is everything.
I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but after reading through this it was pretty damn hard to justify any benefit of the doubt:

That... that's not what I was referring to. I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole.
