A lot of bitterness on behalf of the author against, essentially, people who don't have kids and choose to spend more of their time coding. Sure we don't want to drive people over the edge by encouraging everyone everywhere to work all the time, but this post makes it seem like anyone who makes different life choices than the author (not having a family) is somehow just getting swindled.

I wasn't damning all hackathons. I coded through the night many times before I had a family.
I simply said "Think twice. They’re probably just trying to cash in on your youth and optimism."
