That 72 hour session was by choice. That was back when I was young and teaching myself how to program, in C, by doing. Back then, I did not purchase other peoples libraries. When I needed something, I just did some research and wrote it myself.

A few years ago, I was approached by a company who had a policy of working long hours. They would run 2 80 hour week sprints. Take a few weeks off and then go back into another design and implement phase of 80 hour weeks. When I was young I probably would have went for it, because I normally spent those types of hours in front of a screen. Being older now, I just thought that was nuts. Sure you had more off time, but you were killing yourself to get it. Personally I do not think it was worth it.
