That's painfully not exactly wrong by itself. Its been good advice to make sure the significant other is very happy with the company, and it is often missed. If children are involved, making "family" life easier will make things better.

// I have no real idea of the history here, I'm just commenting on one rule that can be personally costly not to heed

Obviously the gender assumption is pretty cringeworthy in and of itself, but what I find particularly strange is how he advocates this but then turns around and complains that developers don't want to do 80-hour weeks as a regular requirement of employment. These are not mutually-reconcilable recommendations.

Maybe the reasoning is : "get his partner to agree to the idea of him doing 80 hour weeks"...
