God I wish. I get most of my work done in the morning and in the evening. If I didn't do client work so much I would very well switch to a schedule like 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the evening.

Depends on the job, don't think software development can get away with 5hr week. Code needs to be written.

I would argue that is not true. Most time is spent on architecture and design questions and not actual coding.

When I schedule 3 hours of coding I still find myself thinking over design questions in the rest of the time, those 3 hours are then usually spent just to code. And it feels not less productive than a 8 hour day just that I am way more relaxed and believe to write better quality code.

I'm flagging the article because it's behind a paywall. Therefore, for me it's not different from spam. I can't read it, I can't comment on it. And it's like that for the whole HN community except those who bought FT subscription.
