Independent Developer Projects in the Workplace?
An anonymous reader asks: "My company wants to increase creativity and innovation, we our thinking of implementing a Google like policy of 20% of your time for independent projects but I can't find any details on how Google actually implements this. I am curious how they divvy up their time (1 day a week or 1 week a month)? How do you keep your real project from impacting it? At what point are the projects reviewed? Has anybody experienced other successful ways to stimulate creativity at their workplace?"
It's a bad idea.
You could always be completely unemployed -- then you'll have plenty of time to work on as many projects as you can.
Zhrodague.net - I do projects and stuff too.
20% of your time doing creative projects? Sounds like most people would spend it drinking beer.

In all seriousness and said only with the deepest respect:

I don't wandt to
"Every craftsman I know spends a lot of time and effort making sure he has good tools and materials"
Indeed. If there's anything worse than "task x has to be done by tomorrow", it's "task x has to be done by tomorrow using only Microsoft tools"
Can I drop you and everyone who thinks that stupid fucking joke is funny in a vat of boiling elephant fat now?
