There's a precious fallacy at work here, a straightforward one that's extremely typical of elite #computing culture: the self-important computer geek already imagines themselves to be self-evidently "productive" (i.e. they've achieved a comfortable position in the #technology sector, they've got loads of "passive income" flowing in through their tech investments, etc.) and therefore they tell themselves: "If I am doing twice as much of the usual crap I do every day, then I MUST be twice as 'productive'."
What are they "producing" exactly? Well...money and status for themselves, except these are not genuine products. The generation of #money is in fact a destructive process: the Earth's resources and human labor are being consumed in ever-increasing quantities in order to generate exponentially increasing hoards of money. Every unit of "wealth" that's being "grown" in someone's portfolio of investments represents the seizure and consumption of resources (including the lives of human laborers) which might have benefited humanity generally, but which instead have gone towards enriching one person in particular.

The Mac Pro saga: A decade of falling out with Nvidia, Intel, and thermal physics. Now, the M-series has made the "cheese grater" a beautiful, expensive dinosaur. The "vintage lorry" has been replaced by the electric van. 🚚💨

Let’s be honest: Apple’s handling of the Mac Pro over the last decade has been a complete and utter shambles. For years, the "Pro" moniker stood for something specifically, the ability to open a case and stick a new card in without needing a degree in thermal dynamics.
