Not convinced anyone can do that level of work regularly and not produce garbage.

Yeah. Very occasionally I can get in the zone for 8-12 hours straight and honestly do pretty good work. But it’s usually followed by a couple of days of very low output.

I can ! I have ADD ! I can hyperfocus for long coding sessions and don't lose quality.
However... sometimes I on the contrary just cannot get myself to start focusing, so it evens out pretty much xD

Regularly as in for months at a time no. But for crunch periods? I've seen devs pull 72h with a couple 6h break for sleep (so 60h work in 72h, not counting bathroom breaks, eating at pc), it's worse than 60h of work with the normal schedule but still...
It just depends, sometimes I rather work 16h in one day and take a day off than work two regular days.
