So basically a life of software developer is go to office, sending few emails, have a small chat with co-workers, find good coffee and sandwiches for lunch, repeat same process in the afternoon, have good dinner, then head back home? Haha wtf

So your pure working periods are: 9:30 to 12:15 say 3 hours, then 1:30 to 5:00 say 4 hours, that's an easy 7 hr day, ending at 5pm, with a walk break, and a lunch break, and an uneventful post lunch period till dinner. That's luxury compare to my recent place, never left at 5, likely 6:30 or 7, and with breaks similar yours, but at least 2 meetings, so a normal day like 8 pure work hours plus 1 meeting hour, still due to pressure and workload always felt behind schedules. Now thinking may be 8-6 as my new normal specially when working from home. 8-6 is a long day, but that's life for a s/w developer.
@CorDharel

Yes I don't' get it either. The video is super cool and all but what you get to the office at 09:30 AM and leave at 5 PM... why only so many hours? Do you probably happen to have a special contract with less hours? In my country everybody needs to work 8+ hours when working 100%.

Y'all missed the point. Many take it easy but also take work home in the evening. And work on weekend too. Some folks work longer days and then step away. Some like their work the same as a hobby and don't need to step away. So it's always relaxing but always have work in between off hours too.

How do they seem to make every apartment building in Seattle cut from the same exact plans? My place has the same flooring, double stack in the bathroom, and big dog walk on the roof! Just recently stumbled upon the dog washing station which after probably fairly common as well? (I need a dog... 🐶). Also, do you take the bus to work? Because interestingly enough it takes me about 15 min to get to that building downtown if I take the bus since the bridge been broken... Much longer if i need a car which is kinda silly but gives me a reason besides global warming to utilize mass transit and help the planet which is cool. Forced conscious climate crusading considered another featured amenity perhaps? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ (Until it starts to snow like crazy, which it feels like is definitely on it's way to Seattle area as I write this! 🥶)
