Idle curiosity, how many hours did you work. Where work is number of hours claimed to boss, timekeeping software etc.

0 - I've been sick since last March, (long covid?!?) a few minutes of physical activity, and I have to rest for an hour or two. I'm no longer physically fit enough to make gears.

If someone needed a grumpy old pascal programmer, that number could increase somewhat. ;-)

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon!
8, 40, 160. Because that's what's in my contract.
I think a more interesting question is how many hours of actual work did you do in a day, as opposed to the company required hours.

8 hours a day required by company

Probably work closer to 5.

I polled HN a while back : https://imgur.com/qdSltlM

Looks like a perfect normal distribution around 4-8 hours a day, not affected by seniority.

After many years of remote working and being mostly "always on", I have recently started a somewhat strict 9 - 3 working day. No weekends.

Definetely more productive now, but maybe is due to greater focus and discipline on my part.

Are you salaried or do you bill?
I used to be a contractor, billing by the hour.

Now I (try to) run my own company, but most importantly I want to spend more time with my family.

A bit over 10 yesterday. Hopefully 6 today. Boss never asks about my time but I average probably 8.5-9 hours in office a day, so around 42-45 weekly.
4/20/80 doing part time due to cfs
About 6 hours yesterday, like 40 this week and maybe 50 this month. Productivity only kicked beginning this week :)
