> You're saying the third option is.. people just like working 8 hours while this guy works 1?
Nope, I don't say that at all.
I am saying that certain accommodations might feel like 10x to the person making them, but that doesn't mean they are portable.
Another personal example: I can claim with a straight face that using a standing desk and a Dvorak keyboard make me 10x more productive than otherwise. But that doesn't necessarily mean that other people will benefit from copying me, even if I'm happy to explain to anyone how to buy a standing desk from Ikea (or how to work company procurement to get one, in case you are working not-from-home).
In any case, the original commenter replied with a better explanation than our speculations here.
