Ever since I got my first job over 10 years ago I've wondered why there is still an 8 hour work day, at least in this profession. If you're a highly intelligent, capable person, and you're working on something cutting edge that consumes you, and you want to sleep under your desk to get it done -- then sure, go ahead. But the vast majority of people don't do that. So 6 hours with a lunch break included seems fine to me, maybe even too much. Just ban social media, news or whatever. Look at Youtube videos on your own time, post on HN on your own time. Come to work fresh, leave fresh, and I think people will be more productive in the long run.
