lol.. 55 would be the dream, most weeks I do 80+ most of my team do 60+



50% coding/50% hackernews browsing then? ;)


50% coding would also be a good target .. :P


Well that is the worst place ever to work.


I wouldn't be so harsh. If you are young, and if you breathe, drink and eat your product, this could be awesome. None of that lasts forever, of course, but if it happens - what a time to be alive! Not a place for everyone, indeed, and not conventional.

If, on the other hand, you are only interested in the product, and/or you have other stuff to take care of, that would be Hell on Earth for you.


do you get a lot of actual work done? I found communication slows things done a lot. waiting on answer from other people seems to be a pretty big bottle neck. I like to have a couple project going at once to be more productive.


I get very little of "real" work during regular hours, most of it goes in meetings, code reviews and of course communication. I code during the off hours essentially two jobs i guess, one I love(coding) makes the other(management) bearable .


zsh, i3, ssh, openvpn, pidgin, tmux, vim, firefox, vlc - about everything i need all 6hr working day long

if i want to shortcut communication i simply call mates via dialthrough or skype


So, no life outside work at all? And a work that doesn't appreciate you enough to work sane hours? What's the point then? Stocking money for later on?


If it works for you, I see no problem :)

The issue I had was with this as the answer to life, universe and everything: "thou shalt not have life outside of work."


> If it works for you, I see no problem

There's a reason why 80-90% of the wealthy/developed countries make it illegal to overwork people (even if the worker would be willing to work)
