Is it reasonable that we try to build a IT-industry where people can have a family and kids and still be considered productive? Do you plan on having a family and kids yourself one day? Will you change job and start selling bananas that day?

I know of very few other jobs were you are supposed to spend so much of your spare time reading up on new stuff as the IT-business. A few of my friends are physicians and they to spend their spare time reading up on new stuff. Others, not so much.

I don't think this is a sustainable way of doing business in the long run.
