Unless you pay your programmers by the hour, how long they take to complete a project should not matter (within reason, i.e. a weekend). Judge the quality of their code, not their coding speed.
In fact, intense time pressure has a very adverse affect on cognitive tasks.
- jacalata 11y agoIf two people say "yea I spent two hours on this" and one of them shows something that they actually spent 40 hours on, you're probably going to get the impression that they are the better developer because their code should be better. Is that a useful comparison to make between the two of them?
