Considering a recent thread on HN regarding mixing up personal time and company duties I'd love to have the gist beforehand of what would be discussed inside chapters "Your 9-to-5 Is Not Enough" and "Side Projects" as the TOC falls short a tiny bit.

Hey @caiobegotti, those are definitely one of the best chapters in the book. Feel free to purchase it on Gumroad and if you don't think it's not useful, just send me an email to [email protected] and I'll refund you right away.

I think what the GP is suggesting is that having those items on the TOC without further explanation makes it look like this book will insist that in order to be a highly productive developer you should have a poor work life balance. Which is nonsense at best and harmful at worst.

I understand your point, but I don't think we should judge any book by the TOC. Those topics are there as a reference and as a way to draw people's attention to each chapter. In order to fully understand, we need to dive deeper into them.
