    Oh, and throw in a 4 day work week, because no one can be mentally productive for that long.

    Personally i’d go with a 5-day week of shorter hours, but if my company wants 4 days (they won’t) then i’m game. Bonus points for full remote.

    IMO the biggest problem in the industry is that most developers have never seen a project actually following best practices and middle management is invested in making sure it never happens.

    Managers, like most animals, strive for self-preservation.

      I’m hoping for a 4-day 6-hour work week in my lifetime, but it seems the world isn’t ready for that quite yet, even though I’m 100% convinced productivity would not be impacted in any significant way, at least when it comes to software dev.

        even if it impacts productivity, who gives a rat’s ass? companies are making obscene profit, they can damn well eat that lowered productivity. CEOs will have to live with the horrors of only affording 15 yachts.

        I agree 100%.
