When I was a programmer, back in the day--COBOL, Natural, DB2, CICS, IMS, etc--the only time I coded anything like 8 hours/day was when I worked at a software company cranking code--a job I hated. Working as a contract programmer at large corporations (coz my experience was with big IBM iron) I coded maybe 4 hours a day tops. And I was fast and good, and often got work done way before deadlines, so had time to goof off.

The last assignment I did, my boss estimated it would take 40 hours to complete. I had it done in 1.5 hours, fully tested, and then quit on the spot as I'd done all I wanted to as a programmer. I'd already been shooting porn on weekends making more than I was making as a programmer, so was ready to pursue a lucrative career in the adult entertainment industry.
