Congratulations to the author for building a successful product from which they can make a living! Even bigger congratulations that the product can be maintained / extended by working few hours per day.
For example 4 hours x 31 days = 124 hours per month.
Now compare this to a corporate job where it feels like you are setup to fail.
Every day 3-6 hours of meetings / conference calls. Constant flood of emails that are often irrelevant or unclear, but you need to stay focused reading them because something can be relevant to what you are doing (often the part important to you is written in an ambigious way, since they dont know what to do with your case - so you have to ask for clarifications - more meetings).
Constant context switching due to having to drop what you are doing to do something else. Trying to do you your actual work.. often after hours, when they still call you. Or you cant even do your job, because someone who is supposed to provide something for you didnt do it on time, so you are waiting. (They update that it will be there the next day, on next day -> they again say next day and so on).
10 hours per day x 21 days = 210 hours
Of course corporate work is safer. Somehow the corporation exists and moves forward.
That's why it is so impressive that the author can be their own boss. Could even make some contracting work from time to time.
