Comment on Ask HN: How do prolific programmers go about their daily lives?parent

Starting out it seems hard just to work 8 hours a day when everyone else is in the office for 10 or 12. How do you balance this?

Do it from day one and set their expectations right away. But of course do a good job and get stuff done. Make the 8 hours count. That's why I said work from home then you don't have to pretend to work for 10 hours. You will be more flexible.

Under promise over deliver is the best tip I ever got.
