Programmer salaries are quite low as it is. I think there is a good case for reducing working time without reducing salary. I would like to see more companies experiment with 6 hour work days (like in Gothenburg, Sweden). I don't think there will be a huge drop in productivity. Maybe it is wishful thinking but I think there is a good chance it will increase productivity.
One of the problems with a 6 hour work day is how to organise it. If left to the employee they might choose to have no break. Which is really bad for productivity. There probably has to be some agreement that you can only have a 6 hour work day if you have a good lunch break somewhere in the middle.
