Programmers: Stop Whining, Be Productive
- buugs 17y agoI think this completely missed the point of the article, it wasn't that 'makers' were unwilling or unable to work under a managers schedule it was that 'makers' are more productive when they are able to work straight through their problems for long periods of time when they have gotten into a groove. If say you are in a groove and really starting to understand and solve a problem and then you must take an hour or two hour break to listen to a meeting on productivity you can completely lose focus and have to start thinking anew when you go back to work.
- howardr 17y agoThe example given to show that the "manager schedule" works isn't even about programming it is about making a wiki page. I agee that the argument is somewhat BS (I use the excuses sometimes so I can work on something I would prefer to work on), but that doesn't mean that the "markers scheduler" is worse than the "manager schedule" EDIT: I seem to have missed the point of Alex's article. The comments provide some clarity
