Oh, and throw in a 4 day work week, because no one can be mentally productive for that long.

Personally i'd go with a 5-day week of shorter hours, but if my company wants 4 days (they won't) then i'm game. Bonus points for full remote.

IMO the biggest problem in the industry is that most developers have never seen a project actually following best practices and middle management is invested in making sure it never happens.

Managers, like most animals, strive for self-preservation.
