One question being: if you were asked to only work 4h per day, would you "work hard" on those 4h, or would you effectively work less because you HN would still be here, you would still wait on pipelines and chat with colleagues, and you would still have meetings? Disclaimer: I'm all for working less of course :-). But that's a genuine question.

Perhaps my perspective is skewed by working mainly in the office in a massive corporation and that a lot of these 'time wasters' are something that seem like an outcome of the environment: you need meetings to make sure you don't step on each other's toes (and there are many toes around), the pipelines take a long while because there's a lot of code that needs to be built, chatting with colleagues happens because sometimes the requirements are not entirely clear. In this utopia where there are no such external factors, I think a consistent four hour focused work day is feasible. But it does seem too idealistic.
