I only wonder what everyone's opinion on someone who goes to work from 9-5 to do the job they love, then come back home to live the life they love, which doesn't involve reading about the company they work for or reading tech news or doing anything to do with their professional life. I enjoy fishing in my spare time and fixing my rusty, dingy boat, not blogging, working on project or running a startup. I know you probably think i'm terrible engineer and wouldn't want to hire me for your startup, and that's your choice. I love engineering and building stuff but I absolutely refuse to be caught up in my professional life 24/7. I may have a wife and kids. An older parent to take care of. It doesn't matter. What matters is i try to live a life and i only got 1 shot at it. I can imagine there are some folks at Yahoo! who have the same stance on their job/life.
