As someone who values having a work-life balance and having a family, this was a breath of fresh air to read here on HN. I like this article because not only is Elliott saying that you can have a work-life balance and run a startup, but it may even be an advantage.<p>I'm sure there are even more benefits not even listed in the article. I think there are a lot of personality traits that having a wife/kids can help develop in ways that only having a family can, patience being a huge one :).
