This level of hate is unfounded - the author specifically condemns the kind of situation you&#x27;re describing. He&#x27;s arguing that teams must maintain a culture of normal working hours, to keep energy and morale high even into the project&#x27;s final weeks, just in case a brief crunch becomes unavoidable.<p>Unless you&#x27;re saying that you saw three divorces caused by a project where nobody worked any overtime until the last few weeks, you&#x27;re attacking a straw man here.
