That's odd, since “overtime is bad, more time is not more productivity” seems to be all the mantra.

The thing is, that for a young, smart person, mechanically giving up 50, 60, heck, 100 hours per week is not that hard, but it gives the nice “hero” feeling, social kudos.

Empirically, in full-time scenario (30+ hours per week), there is no difference in velocity of development work with more time spent; yet, there are toxic social effects.

Basically: what do the people who bash “undertimers” think?
