I'm actually not sure whether this is satire. There's a couple fair points there (read books, do open-source work, get out to seminars/etc), but the bulk of could be summed up as "be a sociopath that has no life beyond work."

But more likely, you'll find yourself burned out and alone, struggling to get out of bed every morning so you don't lose your six-figure salary from WhateverCorp.
