> I think we have to divide roles that requires deep work from roles that don't. Very similar is the background mind vs not roles. Some people are great at completely separating their professional knowledge work time from the rest of their life. I am not. If a company pays for me to write software, they’re also getting my time in the bath tub thinking about software. This is different from when I was parking cars as a valet. I would never, ever take a “reduced hours” software job for this reason. A job that had 25 hours on the books would occupy a similar amount of my headspace to a normal full time job but probably expect to pay less. For how many employees seem to want it and what a deal it is under the right circumstances, I’m a little surprised more companies don’t offer reduced hours schedules for software. Maybe some adverse selection component.
