Live Well

So it is with deep sadness that I observe the current culture of intensity in the tech industry. My intellectual conclusion is that these companies are both destroying the personal lives of their employees and getting nothing in return. ... I also hear young developers frequently brag about “48 hour” coding sprints. This kind of attitude not only hurts young workers who are willing to “step up” to the expectation, but facilitates ageism and sexism by indirectly discriminating against people who cannot maintain that kind of schedule.Dustin Moskovitz

Merit Badges On Our Gravestones

Smart Digital Marketing for B2B Companies (Amber Naslund)

Unless you’re saving lives — and most of us aren’t — you have to draw the line and say “work can wait”.

And it really, truly can.

We don’t get merit badges on our gravestones lauding our productivity or our inbox zero or our slide deck design.

If you really want work-life, balance, you have to create it.
