#2What's comfortable about working until 9 or 10 pm every night? Would you be saying that if you had kids?

I think he's more so hanging out, enjoying the amenities. Dinner/gym/etc.
I don't have kids, I'd probably do the same thing if it were so convenient.

#5The starry-eyed tone leads me to believe the author is a bit naive--ergo, in his early twenties. Other than that there's nothing interesting here.

Just an FYI -- I don’t have kids either.
I was pointing that out because it seemed like a massive contradiction to say that working at Yahoo is comfortable, but then to say in the following sentence that home life is non-existent. I often ponder the long term stuff in the tech realm as a current full time grad student, and this particular section was striking to me.

#8I hope we are not going to get once again so ecstatic about free food and gym. I know that this looked truly revolutionary during Google's hiring binge.

They're nice amenities and not all employers offer them.

They can be, but it depends on the company's culture. I personally prefer to go home and cook for myself, and when places offer free dinner, I worry that it comes with social pressure to stay and eat there, which I'd prefer not to do. If you have a family it's a bit less of a worry (you have an "excuse" for leaving to go eat with your family), but if you're single, there seems to be this expectation that of course you'd love to eat dinner at work, and you must be somehow weird if you prefer to cook for yourself at home.
