Absolutely agree. Just watched the first five minutes of that clip you linked and I 100% agree.
Jonathan is an inspiring person that had a huge impact on my personal trajectory.
If you want to be a top notch programmer/artist/craftsman, you need to put in the hours.
I had to come to terms with this when I realized that I was not going to be a famous musician, because I didn’t put in the hours.
Now that I have kids, my priorities shifted and I want to put in the hours with my kids. Which means, I won’t put them into anything else. And I am mostly fine with that.
If someone else chooses differently, that’s their choice to make. With the accompanying consequences.
If you want to put in 60-80 hours a week into your work, that means that you won’t spend those 60-80 hours with your kids.
You might end up in history books, but that might mean you didn’t celebrate your kids scoring their first goal along the way.
