I've wondered about this. Anecdotally, the place I've worked with the best quality didn't do code review (maybe three "serious" user-visible bugs during the 8 years I was there, one of which was a fab issue that couldn't have been caught with any amount of code review).https://twitter.com/skamille/status/1169765800829435904 …
Directionally agree, but I think most programmers put in a lot of garbage time, so it's not like people don't have free time at work. Most devs I talk to say that they're happy if they get four productive hours of work in, but most seem to average at least twice that many hours.

Of course there are exceptions to this, I know a few people who can consistently do 10+ hours of focused work a day and I know a handful of people (more than a few) who don't sit around to put in garbage time when they're not focused, but both of these seem relatively rare.

I think there's probably something to that, but it's an assumption that you can replace garbage hours with training and have it be effective. You probably can, but maybe you still can't do 8 productive hours of both.
