Seeing great software developers who have other major interests makes me depressed. Here I am devoting all my time to programming and I still can't achieve anything significant. How do they manage?

Oh, well... Congrats to DHH anyway! Very impressive.

I feel that. On the other hand, it is nice to have a "champion race car driver" as a counter-example to negative programmer stereotypes. Go David!

He's known for 2 projects, rails and basecamp. Both are almost 10 years old now (if not older) and have armies of people who probably do most of the programming. I doubt he's doing 60 hour coding weeks any more, probably not even 40 hours. I bet that having large amounts of money also takes pressure off.

Wait for all the feminazis to complain about white male priviledge. Nowadays it's a sin to be while, male and accomplish something.
