In 8 months at Microsoft, I learned these things

Well, honestly, working past 6 all the time should be considered absurd (assuming you are arriving at work between 7 and 8).

I understand the benefit of hard work but I see too much youth wasted on free labor given to corporations.

Arriving at work between 7 and 8? Are you crazy? I don't even get out of bed that early.

...on the other hand, I think 10 AM - 6 PM is a pretty reasonable work day.

What planet do you live on? In the USA 8-5 or 6 is the norm.

I know what the corporate norm is, but I do not care, because I live on planet hacker. My brain does nothing of any value before around eleven AM and its peak productivity kicks in around 2-3 pm. An 8-5 schedule would be a great way to waste my time and my employer's money.

Yea true. I'm just saying there are tons of things to be done even if it's not coding. I agree with you on the coding productivity but if you walked into a company the first day and said "Oh I'm just working 11 to 2 every day", they probably wouldn't like that too much.
