Almost all of his points are not accurate of FTEs and employees where I live (Minneapolis). I've been on both sides too.
For instance,
1) Unless I'm a government employee I would work 8 hours + lunch.
2) Companies usually provide equipment to consultants (unless it's a small company) because you need to be on their network.
3) I still need leads and project managers for consultants.
Also, if my employees are only doing 4 hours of work a day I would fire them.

- warcher 13y agoPrepare the ax, then. I've been tracking my day to day for several years now, and four hours of hands on the keyboard coding is a damn good day. Don't take my word for it--rescue time is free and very enlightening.
- soundoflight 13y agoMaybe I read the article wrong, but to me (and the author) coding isn't the only "work" you do.
- warcher 13y agoTrue. Many days its much, much less. Four hours is a really good day when I was focused and cranking. Most problems that I can just crank out some code to solve (without any real thought behind it) I've automated out of existence.
