You're completely right, but while I'm not going to look these numbers up I'm very confident that the average investment banker works longer hours than the average software engineer; or even, yes, the average startup founder. I can promise you Google interns don't die from overwork.

Yes and there were many people very confident that the world would end last year. The amount of confidence you have doesn't prove anything, especially if you have no basis for that confidence outside of a few anecdotes.

Hmmm I love getting down-votes when I don't agree with the circle jerk.
