This is more hustle porn. As a software contractor it is hard enough to work for multiple fast-moving companies at the same time. The notion that you can do 40*n hours of actual, meaningful work (that you can remember, or communicate, or otherwise dump from your chaotic mind) is kinda ludicrous.
To me this is advocating the equivalent of polygamy - where you have two full-time families living in two separate homes and you are going to somehow bifurcate your entire life for the two of them. How do you tetris your life schedule? The baseline cognitive load required for that cannot be ignored.
Anyway - one man's trash is another man's treasure. For this person, it works. Suggesting this is the new norm and here to stay? Not so sure. Generally speaking I don't think this is healthy or even moral/ethical when you consider these companies are ultimately expecting meaningful work out of you.
