As a developer my job was less the typing and more the thinking about what I was going to write.
I didn't stop thinking about the problems I was solving, even when I went to sleep.
I frequently woke up having solved bugs that I hadn't even realised existed.
Each day, the entire trip to work I contemplated what it was that I was going to do and the trip back what it was I had yet to complete.
And I sure as shit didn't get paid for that.

Where was it exactly that I stated that the bulk of my work was done in my sleep? I never said that - but rather stated that the majority of work was contemplation rather than typing. However, at least once a week I woke with a solution to something - just because your brain doesn't function that way on a regular basis does not mean that no-one else's does (or perhaps you need to think harder?). My point was, it didn't really matter what time I actually arrived at my desk, the actual contemplation of the issue was happening regardless of where I was. So, for at least two hours a day outside of the office I was continuing to do the most important part of my job. > Also good luck answering the phone at night and while “thinking what to do”. What the hell are you on about?
