IMO this is just someone who's jealous because 37Signals has been successful while retaining a healthy work-life balance.
Too many people these days take pride in their ability and willingness to work ridiculously long hours for extended periods of time.
The only thing that 37Signals is doing is encouraging developers to write code and be healthy doing it, rather than killing themselves and wasting their youth away on technical debt.
The secret to doing what they do is to write code with fewer bugs, not put in extra hours writing in extra bugs because you're too tired to think straight.
