| Jun 9, 2011 at 8:01 | comment | added | Radu Maris | This was exactly my problem when I got hired, I did all the work in 20% of the time it took others, so in about 2 years, I has promoted to "Backbone Engineer", and lead Software Developer (I'm in Romania, here a job means doing more then one thing), so where is your company ? I'm a hard working guy :)) | |
| Jun 9, 2011 at 7:53 | comment | added | Bastardo | I think this is pretty normal and it is what it should be.Even if a person is at work noone can expect him/her to works for every minute and every second.It is not bad to have small breaks, reading news..to refresh our minds.Also a project manager should know finishing the job on the time no earlier and no later.And every worker is the project manager of his own job.If you give'em a job and say this should finish today they will finish it that day not in two hours.As an engineer I believe we should always do what is wanted, no less and no more. | |

| Jun 8, 2011 at 5:50 | comment | added | Ken | If it seems like everyone else is just sitting around, then it's probably true. It sounds like you're simply a fast and motivated programmer. You are the perfect candidate to be working for yourself. A programmer with motivation like you can make 10 times the money instead of working your butt off for someone else's profit. Seriously. | |

| Jun 8, 2011 at 0:18 | comment | added | Lie Ryan | why are we so enthralled by the idea of not working? This question has been in my stack exchange button for much, much longer than the average top questions. Other questions comes and goes, but this... | |
| Jun 7, 2011 at 21:22 | comment | added | Mud | It seems every comment you've received is some lazy employee trying to knock you down a peg rather than get back to work. :) I experienced the same thing at my last job. The bizarre thing is that even when these people were starting to be scrutinized for lack of performance, being pressured with hard deadlines, visibly and sometimes vocally stressed about keeping their job -- the two hour lunches, random bullshit sessions, and web surfing didn't stop. | |

| Jun 7, 2011 at 14:29 | comment | added | Dennis Jaamann | Quickly promoted already sounds fishy to me. One major thing any good developer should have is not speed, but experience with loads of different projects and tools. Hence, you might be a lightning speed coder, but in my experience, fast coding usually means lesser quality. That is also mainly the reason why stuff like Xtreme Programming, Pair programming, design patterns, ... were invented. To make you THINK before you DO. Clearly your question indicates to me that you should be doing more of that. | |

| Jun 6, 2011 at 23:02 | comment | added | Kyralessa | I met a guy who claimed to be orders of magnitude faster than the average programmer. He was a heavy copy-and-paster. He was extremely fast at creating unmaintainable code. | |

| Jun 6, 2011 at 17:53 | comment | added | user7519 | How do you know your co-workers and bosses aren't just more efficient than you are, then again, maybe they got prematurely promoted to their level as well. Remember effort isn't part of Accomplishment. For only "a little over a year" of experience, you sure are "100% sure" of a lot of things ... | |
