⭐ In this post you'll learn

  • The origins of the 40-hour workweek and why it's obsolete for software engineers.

  • How to apply the science of deep work to maximize your productivity.

  • Practical strategies for leveraging AI to automate tasks and free up time.

  • How to achieve a better work-life balance through focused work.
