I think for what I do that is true, 8:30 to 6, 9-5 etc is' old hat, its not how software Dev works IMHO...
Especially since its very much an intellectual endeavour.
Alot of time is spent thinking about things.
Also quantifying software development on the basis of time is also a broken paradigm, everyone is different.
What I am saying is that if tasks could be so well planned and decoupled, that anyone could pick them up and fulfill them, that would be the way to go, like a service bus, each task/unit has an associated monetary value.
The end goal is that if a business is operating at capacity but needs more they could push a component request onto to the service bus and have it fulfilled by whoever, whenever ( within reason).
So I could join this service bus and pop some task off and code it, a bit like a software mechanical turk...and get paid and get some good karma points!
