Working 9 to 5 or 7 am to 12 pm has very little impact on how good a programmer someone is and how easy it is to work with them.

I completely agree. i alternate between being a full-time, non-stop, do-anything geeky possible programmer and leaving it all at work so i can have a life that doesn't involve computers. and i still write good, strong OO-perl, learn whatever i can to get the job done, and care ( almost neurotically ) about the quality of my code. but sometimes, people just need a break from it, clear out the mind, and go back to it fresh.

some people just want the cash ( esp. here in Sillycon Valley ), some people like the work, and some people can only do nerdy stuff. it all depends on the individual.
