I mean, if I were a time traveller, I wouldn't be spending my limited output on this sort of stuff ;)

More seriously - to me this guy seems a bit.. I dunno, try hard? Like they want to prove something about how aggressive they are.

You don't need to be all "gogogo" to do contracting.

The last bit is kind of illustrative. I think they've had bad experiences in the past and are perhaps recovering from burnout in some way. This post doesn't look like a good sign to me in that context.

I did burn out and recovered. And I write from 1st hand experiences, not speculations.

If you're young and insecure you might fall into the low pay downward spiral trap. You'll burn out.

And I'm not advocative anything "gogogo"or aggressive, in fact I said that you should be aiming to work less hours...

Finally I'd be interested in knowing what life experiences you had to think that this post was "aggressive" or "try-hard".
