> my productivity is easily 5-10x what it was before

How are you measuring this? Those numbers seem incredulous.

I’d maybe get 1-2 hours of semi-productive time per day in. Write code 1 or 2 times per week. Honestly, I was pretty shocked at how I could get away with that and it was very demotivating to not have any reason to do more.

Now I’m firing on all cylinders for 7-9 hours a day, completing the entirety of a previous WFH day by 11 AM, and it feels _really_ good.

well he gets done by 11am(8am-11am?) so 8 hours into 3 hours, 8/3 != 5x let alone 10x, sounds like maybe an exaggeration

Wait, who in tech is starting work at 8am? My average day starts around 10. 10x is an exaggeration to be sure, but I will happily defend 5x.

Lots of people. You never noticed because you're never in that early :).

[wait_a_minute]

I’m pretty sure it’s BS propaganda.

Oh, get a grip. Have you considered that other people might have different experiences from you?

The switch to WFH _destroyed_ my productivity and made me extremely depressed. At a previous company I switched to remote because of a move and the same thing happened, so it's not the pandemic that's causing it either.

Different people are different. For me, WFH is absolutely soul sucking.

“BS propaganda”? What would I possibly have to gain by lying…? Other people are allowed to have differing perspectives and opinions.
