It does change the pace of work, because suddenly there are fewer distractions so you can focus on doing actual work.

As opposed to wasting time chatting or in useless meeting. That means you dont have to rush getting the actual work done.

So yeah, it’s a better, slower, calmer, well thought out, pace.

It’s you, the code, and the environment that makes you happy. Thats why working less results in more output, paradoxically.
