Long-term unemployment leads to disengagement and apathy

Again, it is rarely possible to quantify the productivity of a programmer. That's why we pay them according to how many hours they work. Contracting for 40 hours but only delivering 20 is fraudulent.

I’ll put it this way: if I feel like I’ve given you 40 hours of work in 20 hours, I’m going to lie to you and go do something else unless I enjoy my job, and I don’t feel like that’s morally wrong unless I’m incorrect about my output.
