> I love programming but find my mind can only handle so many hours.

I think coders in general are useless outside of a 7 hour window of programming. Sure, there's exceptions. Crunch time or when you're particularly inspired.

But my experience is that any place that insists on 9+ hour days is really just encouraging their developers to "veg out" for those hours past the healthy 7 hours.

What I've heard is that when someone is worked overtime they always end up working under time too, whether they are sitting at work or not.
