You're headed straight for burnout. How do you expect your body to feel after you don't ever give it a break from this programming thing? This is exactly what happened to me.

By the looks of it, it isn't a matter of if, but when. If you bet your whole life on work, and then work starts biting you in the ass (which it will over a long enough timespan) then what will you do? What other areas will you be content in to carry you through?

The real benefit of balance is being able to shift your focus among various areas of your life to weather the storms of life.

A technical piece of advice: develop your taste for languages and constructing software beyond what Industry tells you.
