20% reduction of work is not working 20% less. It's working 20% less time.

Productivity and time aren't correlated.




They are largely correlated in just about all work that I've done. Is your experience different?


Yes. Heavily.

Even in cases such as manual work it doesn’t have a directly proportional correlation, since people get tired.


Yes people get tired but I don't see that significantly affecting the amount of work done in general, for 8-9 hour work days. Do you?


Yes, definitely. It also heavily affects the quality.




The deadline for YC's W25 batch is 8pm PT tonight. Go for it!
