And, all those warriors, nurses, fire fighters, etc. are just doing their job, too. They knew what they were getting in to before they signed up. Most of the programmers did not, except for those hired to do the job.

People who worked late and on weekends made the sacrifice of being away from their families. One could say that they did risk their lives (or at least well being) by suffering from unbearable stress.

I respect your interpretation....we just disagree.
