> Let's normalize not selling your soul to your employer out of some misplaced sense of pride. That's a bit dramatic, I'd say. The reason people can get away with working one hour a day is simply because software development is so abstract, that it can never be estimated or tracked accurately. This guy takes advantage of that, by giving his co-workers the impression that he's actively solving problems, when he's just kicking back and doing something else all day. And respectfully, I suspect your managers were either not actually happy with someone literally delivering the least they could, or they were incompetent.
