Used to let workers devote 20% of their time to personal projects to attract the best people. How times change.

There was a teacher in my area who embraced that 20% and used it as a justification to let his students do whatever the fuck they wanted on Fridays. One or two kids would do something cool over the semester, and that allowed him a showcase to continue doing his job half-assed.

Work harder and more often to develop the technology to replace you, sounds good

So, by that logic, if everyone worked a thirty hour week, you'd still get there, it would just take twice as long?
