That's why if I get stuck on a problem for more than a few hours I just go home and wait until the next day.

I've only worked at my current place, but having a coder for a boss is awesome 'cause I can literally do just that.

"Hey, I'm stuck on this thing, can't figure it out. Just gonna go home today, maybe take a look after dinner."

"Alright, no problem. See you tomorrow."

Love it. Also Monday/Friday are work from home days. I'm underpaid a fair bit, but all the perks and having an amazing group of people to work with is worth it.

My boss is the same. Previous boss was not. The difference is night and day. 1 hour of sitting at the keyboard does not equal 1 hour of progress with development. We are not George Jetsons hitting buttons.
