I can see dedicating the vast majority of one's time (even 100+ hours a week) to doing something you deeply care about. I would say, however, that the vast majority of people, even entrepreneurs, are not in a situation where their work satisfies that condition. I can only suppose Mr. Bosack's work did.

Nonetheless, idolizing 15 year olds who work 130 hours seriously rubs me the wrong way.

We already have 10-11 years old that are burnt out by performance related stress even without such idols, so I'd say idolizing 100hours week for 15 years old are patently insane.

The age of onset for serious stress related psychiatric issues has been dropping for quite some time, it's all very concerning.

But yes, I agree with you in principle :)

Not in a position to watch it right now, but that's probably CEO accounting where things like 'eating' and 'commuting' and 'working out' get counted in hours worked.

Makes sense, but only if it is your own company.
