Guess I must be wired differently, but I look at that extra time and think “what more could I do?”, rather than “I’m convinced this is the output required of me, thus I will do no more with my new found time.” shrug

Sure, if you can do more go for it. I just can't: my brain is tired, my eyes hurt, I cannot produce any productive output/outcome.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Everything you produce once you are punchy, you will have to re-do tomorrow morning during your productive hours, at which point you have to keep working later to get done what you had planned for today, and now you're in a never-ending loop of reworking your code.

It's a milder version of the Red Queen Problem.

If I don't have equity in the company, my interest in that is exactly 0.

I think it’s generally more related to a lot of time that’s wasted having ad-hoc conversations with people.
