It would be about the same amount of work done, but I would save myself so much time. But of course companies want me to be a factory worker with people looking over my shoulder to make sure I'm actually working and forcing me to work 8 hours no matter what. This is why I am no longer a software engineer.

The problem was the companies you were working for. I usually find this distinguished by whether a company is a software company or a non-software company that requires software by extension (i.e. IT/Big Co). Stop working for IT companies and go work for a software company. You'll get exactly what you are asking for -- peace and quiet, flexibility, and giving up part of your salary.

It also happens at any company that bills government contracts, because they have to submit time cards with actual hours worked in order to get paid. You also need to keep a daily timecard.
- iopq 13y agoSure, but it's really hard to find a company that just wants me to be there for 4-5 hours and that's it as a full time job.
