In the scenario described in the article, Peter and Paul both achieve the same outcome in the same wall clock time. Obviously they are equivalently productive despite different working styles, by construction.

But this doesn't account for the more realistic examples of Prakash, who completely fails to deliver a working solution, or delivers half a solution, and Percy, who gets it done two weeks late. I'm pretty sure you can define a shit_done/time_elapsed productivity metric for those two guys that is worse than that of Peter and Paul.

Maybe I am a cynic but I suspect that some people are upvoting this because the framing makes them feel OK about getting paid six figures to work three hours a day...
