This is complete bullshit. The original article is absolutely right: We work in an industry were more hours do not necessarily mean more results - and less hours do not always mean less results. Of course you can try to win by putting in more hours than everybody else, but this is a race to the bottom: There will always be somebody who will work even longer hours, even if it kills them in the long run. Or you could try to win by outsmarting others. For example, the 50% more time you have by working insane hours (like the OP suggests) was easily wasted because of politics and burocratic stuff in some companies I worked for as a freelancer.

your comments are over the top. We are talking about a 54 hour work week. Not 100 hours.
54 hours a week is still over 10 hours per day of a standard 5 day work week.
