      Lol that was literally the reason I posted this. The weirdest part of this backlash to me - if you don’t want to work like this...don’t? Not sure why people need to be angry at you for how you choose to work.

      Well you’re not going to start any good flame wars with an attitude like *that*. How do you possibly stay sane without the stabilizing force of condemning others’ choices?

      Scanning the top few dozen replies as ranked by Twitter: 1) Facts re high performance in runners, South Pole expedition 2) Refs to A Christmas Carol, popular/well-loved allegory on exactly this 3) Statements of differing preference 4) Moral judgement re not spending time w/kids

      1-3 seem totally reasonable/poignant disagreement. 4 is the only one that goes into "unspeakable" territory (e.g., "don't spend time with your kids during Christmas"). even @NathanCHubbard walked that back: his reply is he's actually in hawaii with family.

      Patrick Collison Retweeted Nathan Hubbard

      Yup, I think this is the problem. (Almost) each individual reply totally reasonable. Net outcome: https://twitter.com/nathanchubbard/status/943079619032436736 …. Nathan can, obviously, handle it, but how many people just 🙄 and don’t bother? All basically just Coda’s fan-in issue. https://codahale.com/fan-in/

      I ❤️u, rage twitter. I’ll be in Hawaii with my kids. Here’s to the hustlers - I’ll be hustling to lose five pounds. Make your own choices. Do your thing.

      I’m still struggling with whether or not I think this is a real problem. I know that when people I respect flame me on twitter, it puts me in a bad mood, but I get over it. Maybe it’s incumbent on privileged folks to engage rather than 🙄 in the face of backlash.

      I think the backlash is against perpetuating that mindset. That guy can work as much as he wants, but the tweet is about how you need to do that in order to succeed, that's what people are reacting to. Also, how is this coming from "Pivotal Labs" Lee? Man, SF has changed you ;)

      Looking forward to telling that story to you sometime soon hopefully! You know, DHH spends all his time telling everyone how to work as well, and somehow doesn’t get backlash from the same “don’t tell me how to work” crowd. 🤔

      Also agree. Maybe if DHH had raised a little capital and worked a little harder, Basecamp wouldn't have left the door open for Asana/Trello/Atlassian/et al.

      Btw, Ta-Nehisi Coates just quit Twitter for this reason too.https://twitter.com/nachristakis/status/943130193560031233 …

      To me, this seems like Ta-Nehisi Coates @tanehisicoates can dish it out but cannot take it. I disagree with some (not all) of both his and @CornelWest's ideas, always forcefully expressed, but quitting twitter in a huff for having a lacune in one's thinking identified is childish pic.twitter.com/dTQp5VpS3r
