Same. Last.fm also agreed with what Spotify told me.

I think the point they’re making is that the insane 80+ hour work weeks talked about in the article are, well, insane. What’s even more insane is if they are working 80+ hours a week and only making $120K-$200K, they’re actually just making $60K-$100K or less in what would be a 40 hour week, with the price of giving up your life and sanity.

This is a meme, right?

Yup. Programmers who have only ever been programmers tend to act like god’s gift to this world.
