9-5 Obsolete

This is a quickie, but I have many more thoughts on the subject. For software people, and perhaps other positions and industries as well, the 9-5 workday is not only obsolete, but dysfunctional. I personally find it hard to focus on problem-solving for more than 3 hours at a time, and require a solid 1-2 hour break to maintain maximum efficiency when I code.

I've read and observed a movement towards the loosening of the developer's 9-5 schedule. In fact, companies are finding that there are advantages to flexible schedules that result in better customer service and overall competitive advantages. For one (of many) examples, checkout the link to Chris Ashworth's blog below:
