Lifehack.org is one of those places you go when either you want to think about something other than programming (perish the thought!), or examine and possibly improve some area of your life. Creating Hardworking Idiots caught my eye:
Today’s fast-paced, macho style of organizational culture creates, and then
fosters, the hardworking idiot. Indeed, I think it takes a great many sound,
useful, hardworking, and clever people and turns them into idiots by denying
them the time or the opportunity to think or use their brains.
