Hmm, Nice article. I've been guilty of shooting beyond 40 hours a week easily despite efforts to curb it.
I think it boils down to these also most of the times (may be limited to my limited experience of working in only software companies): 1. Working on something where you are a pro in terms of skills. Lesser the pro you are, you have to spend time reading up on many stuff and mastering the stuff that you counter in your daily work before implementing and executing those stuff. 2. Culture and such. Depends on the environment in your company or work place. Sometimes you need support from others to finish tasks asap. Any laxness on others part (for eg: late reviews, late discussions etc) makes it only tougher for you etc. I wonder if there are any Startup guys and Code coolies on this list. Usually, these are the folks whose work hours extends past 40 hour limit from what I've observed. Anyone from this category wanna share your experiences on this and prove me wrong ?
