Now we need to seen the programmer schedule around the world! I don't think I start before 10am.
- recursive 6y agoAnother programmer data point: I live in the US, and rarely start after 8am.
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoI worked in Germany and now Austria and in both countries most locals would already be at the office and coding at 7:30 while I would still be in bed. It might have something to do with short schedules of Austrian businesses which meant that if you go with 9:00-5:30 work schedule by the time you finished work the shops would be almost closed so you learn to optimize for early in the office, early out the office.
- de_watcher 6y agoThe natural programmer's schedule is around 30 hours so it constantly slips relative to the day cycle.
- seisvelas 6y agoNothing has ever rung truer for me than this comment. I've battled against this almost my entire life. Now that I'm working from home I still keep a basic schedule that involves waking up in the morning and not totally drifting. But having the slack to drift around a little has massively improved my quality of life. I had no idea this was common for programmers. Is there any evidence to back up your claim, other than our two points of anecdata?
