Many particularly young computer game programmers treat the process of 
making games like monks in monastery needing to show how macho they are 
by spending an enormous chunk of their lives on the project.  Herding 
these young dweebs I often pissed them off my sending them home at the 
end of the day as they didn't seem to realize that beyond a certain 
point they were writing more bugs than decent code.   Some managers 
didn't do this and we got twenty something programmers suffering strokes 
(or becoming alcoholics).
