• Avoid the "cult-like" trappings.
• Avoid "genius worship" and call bullshit on the "reality distortion field".
• Get a life (that is, a life outside of work – build stuff in your garage, hike, play in a band, paint, whatever).
• Stay healthy. You're valuable to the corporation, they will allow for you to take exercise breaks, go home when you're exhausted, use your vacation time.
It probably isn't exclusive to the tech industry — I suspect the same is true on Wall Street. Perhaps it is the Temple of Modern Corporate Culture that we should shun.
And good advice is still good advice for the non-marginalized.
I notice a trend in being demeaning towards people not wanting to do anything besides computing/tech. Why is that acceptable? Is my life worse because I don't do "hiking" or some other stuff? I like spending my free time coding, and I hate hearing I should do "something better with my life".
If you never get burned out or otherwise disillusioned with "tech", more power to you.
I suspect most of us eventually find we need something more in our lives though — I was addressing those people (and I suspect the article was as well).
