There’s a lot of talk about Claude Code in here, and I agree it’s a great agentic coding tool.

Everywhere I've worked as a programmer you're just paid to do your job. If you get some of it done on your commute what difference does it make?

If you can't do your job in your 8 hours then you're either not good enough or the requirements are too much and the company should change processes and hire.
