An inaccurate criticism which is addressed in the article: "Personally, I deliberately avoid working long hours and I suspect I don't work more than the median person at my company, which is a company where I think work-life balance is pretty good overall. A lot of my productivity gains have gone to leisure and not work. Furthermore, deliberately working on velocity has allowed me to get promoted relatively quickly, which means that I make more money than I would've made if I didn't get promoted, which gives me more freedom to spend time on things that I value."
