I used to think that it's much harder to find a manager job than a dev job. Eventually I learned that this is not the case - quite the opposite. There is obviously lack of good managers. After reading "Peoplewhare" I understood why. There are two main manager objectives: 1) Advance the project 2) Advance the people. I can't even imagine how one finds a symbiosis between people's ambitions and project needs. Someone has to get hurt.

I think FreeBSD code in C is very well organized:

My neighbor had a custom made keyboard for his ZX spectrum, based on reed switches:

Mine was manufactured at a tractor plant, and one had to press really hard on switch a to get a response.

Did you think about your work beyond these four hours a day? I you did, then it makes a lot of sense. Normally, thinking should take a half of the work time, the rest is dedicated for the implementation. So, if the four hours a day is the implementation net time, and another four (may be more) you were chewing all possible solutions, architecture, optimization, learning new technologies to apply, then totally it becomes much more than 16 hours per week job.

I work in a big company now, and I try to split my time exactly the same: four hours - I'm thinking/reading/learning, another four or less - I'm typing some code. And this scheme is proving itself as much more optimal comparing to a daily 10 hours implementation rush in a start-up where I worked before.
