Is your door open or closed?
This quote came via Byrne Hobart. His weblog, Byrne’s Eye View, is a fascinating read, especially if you’re interested in finance, math and economics. And if you’re the sort of programmer who likes this weblog and also finds those subjects fascinating, you might want to talk to Byrne: He is a recruiter with connections into the world of Hedge Funds and the programmers who work for them.
I notice that if you have the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and you are more productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you don’t know quite know what problems are worth working on; all the hard work you do is sort of tangential in importance.
