I use spring boot and java/kotlin, but professionally and for side-projects, changes are "instant" on side-projects and greenfield projects. Legacy enterprise is another story, there the answer is "it depends".
Use an IDE like Intellij. I have coded a lot of Python, back to java/Kotlin now, and I prefer it.
Why the hell would I do that? It's not like anyone gives a shit about being nice anymore. In fact, being a total asshole like me is the new norm. So, if you want to fit in with the rest of us, just be a prick and don't worry about being nice.
I would recommend using something like tonedear.com and practicing ear training mostly. I played a lot of classical music when I was 14-15, my biggest regret is not focusing more on ear training :)
My experience is totally different: Both from my experience as employee, and on the hiring side.
Primarily, the employees are pushing for working overtime. There are a few reasons:
1. Many just don't do anything at all in the extra hours (remote workers are especially prone to this)
2. Some people want the overtime pay, and do not care about the reduced productivity
3. Some people just use the time to learn new stuff, I must admit I did that myself as a developer. Though, I always learned stuff relevant to work.
4. Some people do not have much life outside work, been there myself
Very seldom is it management who really pushes for overtime in mye experience. IMO the scale at which employees "fuck" employees, is much larger than the other way around. Context: I am in my mid twenties and have employed around 50 people in the nordic countries+
With regards to blocking sites to concentrate, adding a comment as to why it was blocked in the first place might help. It is something I try now to see how effective it is.
