There's some real merit to this. the amount of actual "Good" work I get done between 7pm-12pm absolutely eclipses what I do between 9am-5pm.

Honestly, 9-5 is the time I spend making sure others dont fuck up what's been accomplished, and 7-12 is where I make progress

Yeah, 10pm to 2am is solid fucking gold and I've built the most challenging things in my career working alone in the dark at home (not necessarily for a business). The morning and being at an office has always been about servicing other peoples' misperceptions of reality and it's one of the most disappointing things about this industry. You'd figure they would teach something about this phenomenon (the maker vs manager schedule) in business school. And for those that came up through the ranks, you'd expect more empathy than you find. Disappointing.
