In many ways, I totally agree with this.

It is very dangerous advice to go around and tell people to "work less, live more", or "quit your job, go live life". This isn't a one size fits all message (I'm not saying the OP is giving out advice. Or saying he thinks everyone should follow suit. He is simply telling his story, which I found to be a very interesting and enjoyable read.)

I got where I am at because I work(ed) my balls off. Late, Late nights and grinding out solutions to problems in coffee shops and hours and hours of reading and hacking.

The "Rework" approach comes with a huge caveat lector!

However, I wish this guy the best of luck. More jobs for the poor, smart, and hungry...
