I didn't mean to slag on the author, he does seem like a stand up guy with a good technical head on his shoulders. I think it bothered me because I've been that new guy that's working harder than he should and ended up burning out and setting myself back.

I can forgive him for being self-deprecating, but he should be careful to strive for a good work-life balance or all those smarts and ambitions will flame out and burn out and he will be left trying to pick himself back up.

Of course from one blog post it's hard to know what his work-life balance is, so I could just be talking out of left field. I think it resonated with me because I saw a bit of myself in what he was saying and I know that taken too far that behavior that seems like a great idea can lead you to a place you don't want to be and that I'm finally starting to get out of.
