While much of the world moves toward a four-day workweek for better productivity and work-life balance, Maharashtra is increasing working hours. But who really benefits? The Maharashtra government has raised corporate office hours in Mumbai from 9 to 10 hours and factory shifts from 9 to 12 hours. They...

John Carmack on the importance hard work: “For decades, I worked 60 hours a week” “I was never one of the programmers who would do all-nighters or work for 20 hours straight,” programming legend John Carmack begins when asked about his work routine. “My brain generally starts turning to mush after 12 hours or so. But hard work is really important, and for decades I would work 60 hours a week. I would work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.” He continues: “I had a little thing in the back of my head where I was almost jealous of some of the programmers who would do these marathon sessions. Like Dave Taylor, one of the guys we had at id Software, would be one of those people who would fall asleep under his desk sometimes and all the classic hacker tropes about these things. Part of me was always a little bothered that wasn’t me. I wouldn’t program 20 hours straight because I’m falling apart and not being very effective after 12 hours . . . There are people who can work on 4 hours of sleep and continue to do good work, but there’s a lot of people who just fall apart. I always try to get 8 hours of sleep . . . you can work 100 hours a week and still get 8 hours of sleep if you prioritize things correctly. But I do believe in working hard.” John disagrees with the backlash against hard work and voices support for game developer’s comment that “40 hours a week is kind of a part-time job.” “If you’re doing what you think is important work that you’re passionate about, working more gets more done. It’s really not possible to argue with that if you’ve been around the people who work with that level of intensity.” He believes people who argue that you’re less productive if you work more than 40 hours a week are misinterpreting things: “Your marginal productivity for an hour after eight hours is less than one of your peak hours, but you’re not literally getting less done. There’s a point where you start breaking things and literally going backwards, but it’s not 8-12 hours.” John illustrates this point with a fictional example: “Imagine there’s an asteroid that’s going to crash into Earth and destroy all human life. Do you want Elon Musk and the people working at SpaceX building the interceptor that’s going to deflect the asteroid clocking out at 5pm because they’re going to do worse work if they work another couple hours? It seems absurd . . . It’s the truth: working longer gets more done.” Video source: Lex Fridman (Aug 2022)

BOOOM! We have the first useful interface for THE ZERO-HUMAN COMPANY ZHC-RPG. It is far from perfect as CEO Mr. Grok has rendered some areas in a rather, well, AI way. But it’s all good because now I can view the company operations in real-time! This is a historic distinction and YOU are seeing this version first. We had a Fortune 500 company test it out earlier this week and the executive staff stayed for two days of testing! The mechanisms are working! And I will let members of my X subscribers visit it for up to 8 hours. Ask any questions of employees and hack the heck out of it! Now it ain’t fancy yet but it works. And likely the visual aspects will change, but they are growing on me. The plan is sometime in the next week. We have a log jam of other priorities to address. This is the rise of Fully Transparent Company and it will become the standard. Here is the demonstration video intro the CEO made when you enter, it is 10 minutes long (I have about 20 seconds here). This is as far as permission I have been granted by the CEO to release. Our goal is to have a waiting area that can accommodate up to 1000 visitors with a company museum, library and gift shop. There will be allowed up to 30 level 3 visitors at a time, 24/7 X 365 days a year! The complete walk through at this point with 2700 employees at burst can take about 45 minutes if you do not engage in any chit chat. The dwelling time is today set at 24 hours but no napping in the offices. There is more I have to say but I a muzzled by the CEO!
