1/3 of tech workers admit to working 3 to 4 hours, while 2/3 of tech workers admit to sucking at tech work. Leaving less than 10% who know what they're doing and working full days doing the real tech work. Just ask any company.

i work with a guy who claims like 15 hours of overtime per week... his total output is prbably like 0.1x what a normal developer does... constantly adds bugs, never squashes his commits (to show extra 'work' being done'...). typicial commits for 1 day of work:

- add 3 docstring for 3 setter functions (max 10 lines each). (1 day)

- fix a codesmell, ~15 character syntax change, whose 'fix' is given freely by the analysis plugins' web app. (1 day)

- change a version number in a file (1 day)

In total I'd say he does maybe .5 hours of work a day...

I'm probably around 4-5 hours, but knowing hes claiming overtime ontop just kills me lol.
