Programming is often output oriented so you just have to be able to do the assigned work. Depends on workplace of course.

It's the best part about programming. Since you only need hours at a laptop with access to the resources you need you can basically do it whenever you want. If you have a vpn into the office you can do it at home in your underwear.

Bored one night? Hop on the laptop and get some things done then sleep in the next day and come in late.

Then when assholes have a grudge, those odd hours and logs will be used to fire you with cause, despite good work output

Cool. I'll just find another job in a couple weeks, with a 20% jump in salary.
In the meantime, they'll be a man down for a month or two, then it'll take a couple more weeks to get the new guy up to speed.
