As someone who is involved in both engineering and management - in my experience 8h days do not exist.

Are there just isn’t an environment allowing for eight hours of deep work without interruptions, emails, meetings, chats etc.

And even if eight hours of deep work were possible, the cognitive load the programming tends to lead to exhaustion within 4 to 6 hours max.

I don’t expect more from myself or others.
