It's weird to me that this isn't more common in tech. Because we're working with our minds there is not a good direct link to hours worked and output. Certainly No one is constantly able to have 8hr highly productive days (or any) so why not optimize towards high efficiency? Doesn't running "your machine" down just end up creating more, often compounding, (usually small) mistakes that only then need to be fixed later? Isn't what makes humans particularly unique is the ability to do complex and long term planning?
