I'd rather work seven straight 6-hour days than four 10-hour days. I'd have usable time _every single night_. That sounds amazing.

  I used to have this opinion 5 years ago, when my job was some monotonous busy work (using my brain, but no code, engineering, or leadership). But, in my current role (product leadership), I'd far prefer 4 day workweeks for me and my team.

  I'd like to see tech companies have the office occupied 6 (7?) days a week, 12 hours a day M-F, with a revolving door of people coming and going. We are trying to run 24/7 operations and expect everyone to be in the office during the same 'core business hours' which means that wage theft is just one human error away from being a reality. If I have to be there for anyone to make meaningful progress on deciphering an issue in my code, then we're writing the wrong code.

  There is something truly wonderful about waking up and knowing that this entire day will not involve some set of responsibilities. For about a year I did 20h weeks (independent contractor) as 4hour days. Compared to 40h+ weeks, it was awesome obviously. But there is overhead to getting ready for it, expending certain kind of energy, more likely to close laptop on something incomplete.. I thought I would save the afternoons for personal projects but I rarely felt like it.
