    I guess that says something about some of the developers around here....

    I gotta say, the AC has a point. I spend 50-60 hours a week writing code because, uh, that's what I'm paid to do.

    Let's take a closer look...

    First, we have the story submitter saying this: "developers get together and concentrate on communication rather than just development."

    And then we have Theo saying this: "developers suspend their lives for a week to focus entirely on just development."
