henko.netHome of a human being and software developerIncreasing sustainable pace- April 9, 2008 In the last few years, especially in the agile corners of the web, there's been quite a lot written about the 40 hour workweek, sustainable pace, no overtime, and so on. I agree with most of this stuff and think exhausted developers in the long run do more harm than good. I can't help to wonder, however, what's so magical about 40 the hour workweek Why not 35, 45, or even 55 Just playing safe on 40 seems a waste, if my team can do better.http://henko.net/imperfection/increasing-sustainable-pace/ |
