More worship at the altar of optimally-filled-time which misses a larger point - research consistently shows that the "goof-off" time is where our brain goes to work on the real hard problems. Sure, if all your startup does is crank out CLs, optimize for that. But I'd wager that unless you're solving bigger problems than "more code!", your startup is not going anywhere. (Don't get me wrong, there is a phase when all you want is more code, but it's a very short moment in the life cycle) Oddly, Knuth comes to mind: Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered
