Great response. I am from Italy and I really care about productivity. What I realized is that rarely more hours results in better work. The thing is: If you care about quality, then being too much pressured or fast-paced might lower quality. If you care about quantity... then why the hell are you paying a so-skilled person to do "quantity"-work. Now...a small question. After I began reading HN and some startup info, I got the impression that, in many fast paced startups, this might be a "common issue", is there someone who could confirm this or I'm just making this up by myself? I want to understand if the startup world (almost non-existent in italy compared to the rest of the world) consider the human behaviour a big part of the game or not. Right now I find that few startups or companies publicy share how they handle this situations and what they do to avoid this streaks.
