There’s some good advice below. I’m not a programmer (vastly different field), but the most important things you can do are to:

He works 8 days on then gets a seat amount of days off

I would routinely do 8 to 14 days on (12 hr days) on and then get 2 to 7 days off all summer for 10 years (different industry though)

I don’t recommend it TBH. Im now on a 37.5 hr week and couldn’t be happier.

Yeah that’s my approach

I use it, but some things are lacking. I find the mobile site better at the moment
