Wow. So, a programmer, sitting in a seat during certain hours of the day is what makes a good programmer?

Not GP, but a programmer working the same hours as the people they need to regularly collaborate with is worth somewhat more than that same exact person working the other side of the clock.

I disagree.

There's nothing like working with someone who is only a couple of hours overlap. Progress happens 24 hours a day, and never stops to sleep except a short 1 day weekend. There's nothing like waking up to find the interface you defined the day before already implemented and a quick chat/meeting to figure out what was done and needs to be done.
