>I have never understood why the clock-punching is so a big problem. It doesn't take much time to track your time spent with typical softare, in my experience. And apparently being clock-puncher now makes you dumb as well?
I don't agree with using it as a slur, but I do think it's an awful way to work in a creative field. Some of my most productive work happens as a direct result of my taking breaks - a walk here, a cup of tea there. All the while I'm thinking about the problem at hand. Time tracking discourages this of lateral approach in favor of brute forcing your way to the answer.
