I've only heard about it from ex-Googlers so perhaps it's different now. 20% time was introduced a long time ago (before Google went public?) and 80 hour weeks were a lot more common back then...

Some Googlers I know barely work 20 hours!

Anyone have tips for finding a chill team at Google? Passed all interview rounds last time but decided to join another company. Might give it another go if I can get one of those <20hr gigs...

Golang team? I've heard the plan is to slack off next 10 years to add pattern matching in Go 3.

Step 1: don't post on HN about how you want to minimise your work-time I guess?

The whole HN is dedicated to minimizing work-times actually.

Hey, I do good work even if I work less time! 40hr workweek is kind of pointless anyways.

The last 20hrs have maybe a 20% return, and I work quickly anyways. I also skip BS meetings.

My managers have always respected me despite me working obviously fewer hours. Quality of work + meeting your goals > some meaningless metric.

Bighetti's team is chill :)

can confirm. We built a potato canon last month.

Not payments.
