I guess the question is really why is it that only businessmen make the bulk of money. Is sweet talking, managing, being social and creating hype really needed to make money even in this age of Internet.

Seems like managers do things that are not justifiable and get away with it, whereas brunt work is done by engineers. Managers can't be trusted then, because they can get away with it ? So who is to decide if the consequence to let so

Pair programming eats up so much time. If I'm just given a list of tasks, I usually work 7-8 hrs at work (1 hr. break). Return home do an extra 2-3 hr. non-work related coding.
