That is a good observation. I am the primary care-giver for a sick spouse, so I have also seen the luxury of time spent on programming diminish. I am glad you pointed this out. Now that I am older, and perhaps wiser, I can look back at some of the unhealthy attitudes that I had about co-workers who had to balance the much more important demands of life against completing a certain feature or getting a demo ready by a certain date. When I look at my younger self, I can see how this attitude can lead to ageism and the lack of respect and support some employees see in organizations that only value how much code you can crank out.
