Advice from back when he wasn't wealthy is still good, but seriously, why would you take any working-class advice from a multi-billionaire? That would be the most out-of-touch advice you could receive.
You’d think that a guy this smart would know that the data not only disagrees with this, but that this rules out anyone with a family
That's the thing, with these guys that have been lucky enough to make it in the current economic system, their detachment from reality and their indifference toward other human beings always goes further than their intelligence, which, like everyone else's is generally limited and narrow.
Zuckerberg is in a lot of ways a pretty impressive outlier to get into the club as late as he did and that was only a few years later.
I'm going to continue to shill for the billionaire in this instance: what's the right number of hours to work on the most important technology of our lifetime (or maybe ever)?

This and take away his nannies, chauffeurs and other servants. Let his wife work a regular job too. If you are not privileged, running a family is another 40 hour a week job.
I mean, I take your point and even agree with you. But, to be fair, I'm sure Sergei worked 60+ hours/week when Google was starting.
Well I'm all ears if I can get a job that I really love. Hour is not a problem. I can work 80, 100, you name it. But until then I'm just going to work the maximum minimum that my employer is OK with.
But I'm a Beatles fan
We have our fun games we have to check into Reddit Facebook other social media, not to mention actually talking or their coworkers about cat videos etc. The amount of work actually done during work is fairly small. Wrapping that up to 60 hours a week will probably just make the most people double down on figuring out how to make those bad hours more endurable
I wish society frowned upon the stupid and degrading ideas of people like that ugly Bozo.

Derek Thompson likens it to a religion: "Workism". It should be viewed with disdain and suspicion, but is instead valorized and celebrated.

Doesn't matter what you're working on, burnout doesn't help anyone.
