Opinion

Why do you work so much? How many hours is enough?

“There are way easier places to work, but nobody ever changed the world on 40 hours a week. Varies per person, but about 80 sustained, peaking above 100 at times. Pain level increases exponentially above 80. But if you love what you do, it (mostly) doesn’t feel like work.”
