I’m glad I don’t work on anything you’re responsible for. I’ve made a great career out of hiring the people folks like you burn out and frustrate.

I’ll bet $5 that people conform to your model by working longer than necessary and your “velocity” is considerably lower than it could be, despite being measurably consistent.

No, I’m very insistent on not working late, almost ever. I know the velocity isn’t bullshit because having been a developer for years I know the estimates are reasonable. I also had a 100% retention rate on my team this year with a sizable team and my company paying salaries only a little bit above average.
