What is most efficient is often less work then an artist wants to achieve in the current moment, as to be ready for truly great clarity and skill later over time. 
Carmac may be a robot but there is still some art to his skill and he has never worked 12 hours or over, even his fucking brain would turn to mush and his disingenuous assertion that he does commonly while being interviewed is absurd. His connection to the illogical pop culture of movie programming is strange for how much physical work he did on games engines, slowly, to ensure quality.
He blows out of proportion the idea that continuous mental labor per day will achieve more,while he got most of his work done for each year in short intense bursts as he cannot deny.
He's setting unrealistic work standards for geniuses and savants intentionally as if it will never come back on him while believing his own hype.
 Every artist should be honest with how much they can do before burnout or quality reduction, the truth is, most people work very little mentally per day or month just to keep focus and project quality high.  
Everything should be about quality,you cant write incorrect code because it won't run just like you cant make a story full of plot holes.
It takes a lot to keep innovation and creativity going, I am better then most because I practiced my whole life but I needed a 3 month vacation 8 years ago.
 I am uncomfortable as my work chair is for fat fucks and not tall enough and my table doesn't line up with the resting height of my arms forcing them up and tensing my shoulder sockets. I never had the energy to install my new screen stand so it rests down below my face which is bad for my brain and neck flow for thinking and hurts my posture over time.
 Its impressive with I have ever gotten anything done with such absurd painful heights and chairs my whole life, carmac knows nothing of these things and still works less while claiming no one works harder, its like he read masters of doom and believed he was that cool even though its a puff piece written by a retard in the same style as "Pirates of Silicon Valley". 

I'm going to set the standard for work right now, most people don't spin up enough energy in a sort of induced ion reaction mentally for more then an hour a day as artists, if that, most people struggle without lots of lymph and blood flow inducing exercise and diet to have a single idea.
 Geniuses/savants are all different but usually work intensely for only 2 hours every week or so, the saying goes, you cant rush art, this is always true unless the person is lazy, but no passionate person is, most artists do the best they can, even if they think they could do more they are in denial that they're bodies and or minds tire/burnout quickly.
 Stress and Work-load Expectations make every project bad and can permanently damage the overall ability to focus and work long term on future projects, robbing the world long term of passionate people. Artists will frequently overwork themselves making mistakes and becoming frustrated and angry instead of taking the time to relax each day. 
 Proving my point,On projects like pie-rats and super-pets everyone's own passionate drive can sometimes make them voluntarily work too hard all at once from an extreme passion induced fugue state of focus.

People like me should not be compared to 99.9% of other artists as I am very practiced in the skills I have and so It is easy in a sense to turn on my motor and let all my power flow until even I burnout badly.

I need a 2 month vacation every year in December and January to someplace warm and humid for all of my hard fucking work and it would help me be creative, the more I relax the more I explode with ideas and they drain again as I tense up. The real problem would be not recording 5 hours of new ideas after 2 hours of vacation and relax for truly amazing ones to come from relaxing all day on a beach.
The world needs john carmac and they need him at his best when hes ready to do his best, just like my friend crowly crow who did voice acting for a pinoytoons animation on new-grounds in-between drawing all day.

The more comforts I have the easier it is to be happy and hence creative.
