Economic sanctions against people who don't want their life to be work? The logic actually makes some twisted sense - "Oh, you don't want to work all the time? Well you're not getting any work at all then." Personally, I'd give preference to whoever does a better job because how a person got to that stage is none of my business. Either way, that attitude is borderline discrimination.

    Exactly, which is why thematt is more likely to hire the guy who's been hacking away for two years than the guy who's been traveling for two years ceteris paribus.

    If you are what you do then you aren't what you've done.
