I like programming and technology and reading about it and learning new things.

I’m never working 80 hours a week for someone to make them look good. No one should expect that.

Yeah, I'd rather have people in my life and things to do that don't involve making computers do stuff for money. If that makes me a bad engineer then our standards are fucked. I was on that track for several years, but it's not worth it. And I've built some good stuff and gotten a lot done since giving that up.

If a manager expects or even does anything short of actively discouraging that behavior, they are not fit to be a manager.
