The whole "I go home every night after work, pour myself a glass of wine and read the case law" is an interesting point as well. I quickly realized that despite a lot of techies being very loud about WLB, that's not how it works with exceptional people.

I think there's a _huge_ difference between working all the time because you've got a boss threatening to fire you if you don't versus because you're voluntarily learning to supercharge your career.
