In your experience how true are the studies that claim that on an average 8 hour work day, people are only productive for around 2 hours and 50 mins?
I think it can be true for coding, but in this line of work some people can output in 2 hours and 50 mins what other people require a week to do. Also it is possible for someone to create more work through their actions - a sort of anti-work (not to be confused with the subreddit). Sometimes the anti-work can create entire worker-years of work. Actually, anti-work is sort of an art form - here is a guide: https://github.com/Droogans/unmaintainable-code
