In my 25+ year career, the periods where I accomplished the most and am most proud of my accomplishments are in fact those times I averaged somewhere between 25 and 30 hours per week.
Those times when I've been part of a team that valued ass-in-seat-time(tm) have been the times when I'm most embarrassed of what we produced.
Where I work now, there's a pair of workaholics who produce insane amounts of code.
Management loves them.
They are the only ones who can understand their code and of course management thinks that's because they're smarter than everyone else.
I'll be nice and suggest that perhaps there is a different reason nobody else understands their code.
