Let me complete my phrase then (although the intent seemed pretty obvious to me):
"as many hours needed for me to complete a reasonable day of work".
I realise that this is kind of self-referential, but in practice both sides know what to expect from "1 man-day" in terms of deliverables/progress.
Similarly in a remote engagement typically there's the implicit assumption that you are a reputable, seasoned, productive coder.
- hn_throwaway_99 8y agoThis still doesn't make sense at all to me. If you mean "as many hours needed for me to complete a reasonable day of work", then, by your own definition, if you're only putting in 4-5 hours every day why wouldn't I reasonably ask you to work 3 hours more?
- vemv 8y ago"A day's worth of work" is a chunk of results - not physically spending 8h in those results. It's well-known (and documented) that remote workers are more productive, so on a good day you can call it a day at hour 4. YMMV Working more hours would pay a toll on one's ability to keep delivering tasks with the same focus and quality.
