Not that I would ever want to do it, but I alway wonder how the outcomes would be if engineering teams worked as hard as IB/HF folks. I've produced some of my best code on the weeks where I manage to code 70+ hours, but its very unsustainable.

The obvious answer is that it wouldn't work, but some of these organizations with long hours are some of the best performing organizations, so there is definitely more to the story.

Then you would have projects done faster/better/sooner. And then so what? The world keeps moving regardless.
