I did use it as an argument. And you kind of won. I literally I have not seen these photos. Though, it seems he was there for just over 24 hours. Notification by duration, but ok, it’s Saint Tropez.

And you’re right, of course. The amount somebody works really doesn‘t mean a thing. After all, it‘s his own decision. And besides, most people do want to be useful. I mean, why are you here on HN discussing viewpoints with strangers? That‘s a kind of work, isn‘t it?

As you say, there are good ways of working and bad ways. And there are certainly tasks that would deserve getting done much more than others. Which is yet another reason why the mere amount of „sweat“ can rarely be a measure for how much „good“ a person is doing.
