Maker's schedule, Manager's schedule (2009)
Interesting article that makes some good points but this part<p>>They generally prefer to use time in units of half a day at least. You can't write or program well in units of an hour. That's barely enough time to get started.<p>Seems ... made up?<p>There are all sorts of things you can do in an hour as a programmer: update a test, fix an automation script, fix and/or test a bug.<p>Not all programming starts with grandiose algorithm design or an architectural green field. Some does, so there's a small nugget of truth, but this is far too great a generalisation.<p>I do agree with the difference in schedule though. Having worked on both IC and mgmt tracks, it was easy to see a whole day fragment in to nothing when needing to get on the critical path.
