Should people over 40 work a three-day week?

I work from home, so am able to set my own schedule, and tend to do something more like 10-20 blocks of 1-3 hours each, over the course of a week. They are not evenly spread out... I work when I am energetic and alert enough to be the most productive, balanced with the responsiveness required to meet the needs of the business.

Sounds like heaven to me.

Are there times you have to be available, or are you able to be entirely async?

Mostly async. There are some tasks that end up getting schedule at specific times -- conference calls, code deployments (sometimes), etc. But The vast majority of time is flexible. It really is a great setup for coding.
