2. The Changing Workplace - Smashing the Clock.

   At most companies, going AWOL during daylight hours would be grounds for a pink slip. Not at Best Buy. The nation's leading electronics retailer has embarked on a radical--if risky--experiment to transform a culture once known for killer hours and herd-riding bosses.

The goal at Best Buy is to judge performance on output instead of hours.

   Saeed Dehnadi and Richard Bornat: The camel has two humps [PDF]. Some people can learn to program and some can't. A UK graduate student thinks he has a test that can tell them apart, even before they've taken a day of classes. More interesting to me are the references asserting that "those who were successful (in programming) had a mechanical understanding of the way that the language implementation worked" and that "people who know how their programs work do better than those who do not". When I was taking CS (in Haskell, C, C++, Lisp, and 68K asm) I felt that this topic was virtually ignored, and Java must make it even worse today.
