Hmm, my goal is to do something memorable during a workday and not just showing up.

Let alone the fact that in IT, you can rarely produce something worthwhile after 4-6 hours.

It would also be hard to respect arbitrarily chosen rules, that have no proven effect on productivity.

It's hard to see Japan being competitive with archaic rules like the above.

It's interesting that these things don't seem to matter that much. Japan isn't some basket case, it is a developed and wealthy country. This is all the more remarkable when you consider the demographic circumstances it faces.
