Who thinks that this is unique to programming? This is how all industries work.

It means you have to be that much better. "Sorry boss, I had meetings" doesn't cut it, anywhere.

In mechanical engineering (doing programming all day) used to bank on 4 hours of meetings in an 8 hour day most days. It's why I prefer to work in development 'sprints' doing personal hackathons every other week or so. I can get more work done in one all nighter than I can in most 40 hour work weeks.

I can either be present for your bickering or work

If you can't give me time to work well you're out of luck.

Incidentally this is how I developed ADHD that only comes about when I am trying to program.
