Which is why I don't like the 9-5 nonsense either. Also programming isn't just done at the computer. When I am working on a problem, I am working on it at lunch, on the bus, on my cycle, sitting out side starring into space, etc. Left to my own devices I would "work" infront of my work pc 60 hours one week 5-10 the next 40 the next two. Being forced to be in the office a set time is no good for anyone in my position.
I definitely will be using facebook ads, but at the moment facebook isn't really a great fit. I am specifically thinking about product MVP pages where I can see who makes it all the way to the checkout stage.
