I think 15 years of not having a few months off from working at Google is slightly better than 15 years in a US prison, not really a fair comparison.

Of course, was a joke. But there will always be more work that we can possibly do. You are never really done in a successful business. So I feel sad that he made these sacrifices at the expense of his family life. The saddest part is that the code he wrote will probably be a distant memory in 20-30 years.

At least the free food is better at Google.

The non free food is better yet at your dinner table, with your significant other.

Party agree. I cannot imagine waiting for 15 years for my partner for just a month or two off.
