I also imagine it would change workflows a lot for many companies.
For example, my current company is very small and young (in experience). We're only now implementing meaningful workflows of builds, deploys, ci, etc... hell, even version control as previously an after thought.
With that said, trying to increase staff heavily to compensate for 15h work weeks would mean a lack of workflows would impact us greatly, imo. Ie, some people here don't document their in progress work, and barely commit. How is someone else supposed to pick that up mid way through? Ie, the project still needs to get done in say, 2 weeks, but the original 40h/week dev will not be able to finish it in 2 weeks, so other people have to join in and work on it together.
I'm not arguing against 15h weeks, just that it would mean single developers can't deliver the same product in the same timeframe most likely. So documentation, testing, and team communication would have to pick up the slack i imagine.
