What if you're required to be there physically for 8 hours, and you also don't get paid any more for better work then you currently produce? I suspect that woul

  In my contract there are 8hours a day written down. You probably don't get paid for feature x, you get paid for 40 hours (or whatever). If you get paid to do feature x, you would be a contractor with an contract stating that you do feature x for payment y. I do make quality code because that is my standard. I do not care what others get paid for the same work. If they do, i will switch company and or will talk about my salary. If i work in a company with labor contract, than it was my choice and i still produce my quality and not reduce the quality on purpose to read HN for an our every day.

    (I do get paid directly based on my work, so my original description for the 'majority of jobs' does not describe my own, so here I'm only speculating) I don't think anyone is reducing their work hours specifically to read HN for an hour every day. Like the study describes, most people don't and aren't capable of working for 8 hours an entire day; if they choose to spend the unproductive hours reading HN instead of working on some ancillary project, I don't see any reason they'd have to go out of their way to justify it to themselves.
