> As a business owner, I am not sure you would hire on the same axis. I would personally not hire someone that can only work for 20 hours a week, there is too much to do.

When you're hiring make this known so people can do their own filtering on their end, as well.

Yup, we make it known. Plenty of companies in the world that you can coast at, it can’t be a company with <5 developers fighting well funded competitors.

This is only true if you assume 40 hours a week produces better software than 20 hours a week. I’ve not found that to be the case. Software productivity is in large part a function of developer happiness. Plenty of people are happier and more productive with less hours. That’s not even getting into burnout and cost of replacing people.
