I didn't participate in any of the decisions, but I assume that given a 8h workday less than one hour was reserved for lunch and the rest for stuff like going to the bathroom and socializing with your co-workers.

It actually was dropped not that long ago, because clients complained that we "weren't working full time".

Little do they know that those 6h were honest, focused work and the requested 8h won't be, because there are limits to what can be achieved on any given day.

Oh, I mean did you find it personally effective at boosting your own output.

I work for myself, so if I can improve my efficiency within a given timespan, it's all win.

I did write a lot of low-quality code if that's what you're asking.

It was a lot like preparing for an exam after you skipped classes the whole semester. You don't wonder off and you don't stop and think about the direction you're going.
