- Lost Opportunity Costs in Professional Growth
- Increased Professional Risk from Lack of Diversification
- Decreased Professional Passion
- Lost Productivity
- Poor Code Quality
- Lost Personal Revenue
- The Usual Personal Reasons

- Compelling arguments as to why you shouldn't work overtime as a programmer.

- If, as a programmer, you routinely elect to do overtime (mandated or volunteered), then this post is a must read. If you can avoid overtime, you should because there are far better ways to spend your free time.
