Can't emphasize this enough.
I used to eat at Subway, every single day and one day I stopped going there. I have never been able to go there again.
Passion does not turn you into a machine, you are still a human and your brain and body has limits.
I did the same thing. Six months straight. I now haven't been in years.
to Subway?

You didn't really read the post. When she started, it was like that. But eventually it turned into "just-another-9-to-5" with uninteresting problems. That's why she quit.

You must get tired of that. I would have changed my name to 'Lorenzo' or something at age 18.

Yep, just followed the twitter link. So disappointing.
I used to work at a startup where this was the case, but I've since changed. I love my work and my co-workers and I think they all work extremely hard, but I go home every night at 6:30. I cook for myself. I take salsa lessons. I read. And I work on my own projects.
Interesting work at companies comes with ebb and flows. Sometimes you work on things you don't like, sometimes you get bored, but if you keep your mind fresh and sane you'll come up with things to work on that are meaningful and interesting.
