The real question is whether it's fun for others.

The claim, as I understand it, is that the culture trades off fun for productivity. A common example given is Apple, where Steve Jobs was a hawk that excoriated his underlings, and thus induced them to create beautiful, world-conquering products.

Also that the culture selects for the people who find being productive fun.
