Best Practice: Voluntary Overtime →
The problem with pressing for more overtime than developers want to work is that when motivation begins to drop, it doesn’t just affect the 10 or 20 overtime hours. It affects the 10 or 20 overtime hours plus the 40 regular hours. When you press for overtime, you lose productivity in motivation faster than you gain it in overtime.

I was the victim of a mockbuster and I enjoyed it.
The movie I viewed on Netflix Instant was not 11-11-11, the horror movie from the director of several high numbered Saw sequels, but rather 11/11/11, the low-budget straight to video mockbuster released two days earlier.
So now I have another potentially entertainingly bad movie to check out when I can.
Sure sign that it’s some flavor of bad?

How did they know when to stop?

Yet here we are, still at the mercy of underachieving Congressional know-nothings that have more in common with the slacker students sitting in the back of math class than elected representatives. The fact that some of...
