[satisfice]

The dynamic on Twitter typically goes like this: Someone tells a story about working long hours for a satisfying result; then someone else clucks about that not being “healthy.”

The cluckers are wrong. They are also stupid (defined as deliberately refusing to use their brains).

The issue is NEVER about how hard you work. It is always about agency and meaning. So if you don’t want to look like and sound like and be an idiot, don’t judge the health of an operation merely by some arbitrary rubric about hours and sleep. Find out who is choosing this, and why.

I run my own business, with my wife. For 22 years it has consumed our lives. We’re okay. We take breaks along the way. Shut up, nanny bot assholes.
