i feel that way about my current contract job, but i have a few other notes coming from the perspective of someone who has lead teams. 'risky code sucks up tons of time' i don't think i have ever been on a project when expectations could realistically have been meet if i did not already do something just like that. the current project i am on, i was hired to work on a flash widget, and i ended up working on a java applet that had to communicate with JS, and the struts backend. there was a ton to learn, and most of the time i spent looking stuff up on google. on other programing jobs i always feel more productive when i am not spending my days on google.
