Up to around 4:30 or 5pm. I'll rarely if ever stay online after that unless I'm actively pairing or trying to help someone.
I get what you're saying, though I don't mind being around and reachable. The company expects my time around similar hours to other engineers, so I'm not changing that deal. For me personally, extra hours starting at the buttcrack of dawn is worth it in terms of stress relief and feeling accomplishment. Everyone's different, and that's a good thing because if everyone did what I do then the positive effects would be totally nullified.
Granted, yes, I would be glad to always sign off around 2pm. Maybe this is something I should negotiate with my next company someday.
