Also annoying: the focus on money.

The article basically says he wrecked his body working punishing hours, so he quit, found a girlfriend, started collaborating with her on a mutual goal, and plans to get married. Headline says "he doubled his salary!"

If he doesn't care whether he's on the path to linear growth, why should we?
