What's more, it doesn't even signal that the individual in question is better at their job than someone that puts in "only" 40 hours. I've worked with a good number of people who can talk big-talk when it comes to programming, have a countless innovative side-projects and yet can't deliver anything meaningful at work by the deadline. Some of them had very impressive github accounts and worked 10+ hours a day, but were consistently behind everyone else in the quality of their output.

I think it's a shame if someone quits the profession because they think they need to keep up with people who might or might not be delivering actual business value.
