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.
