Containment has prompted many companies to implement telework for their employees. A constraint that affects many sectors, including developers of digital applications. Teleworking would also have a significant impact on their pace of work, this is in any case what the report of GitHub, a hosting and software development management platform, based on data from 40,000 accounts indicates. chargeable organizations during containment.
According to the GitHub report, the developers spent between 30 and 60 additional minutes per day on the platform to work and also overflowed on their weekends. This extension of working time could be explained by the fact that developers have to juggle household tasks (taking care of children, cooking, etc.) and therefore that they are more often interrupted during their work. . This is why their working days and weeks would be longer.
This overwork has several reasons
But the Microsoft-owned company puts forward other explanations for the extended hours; "Developers may feel pressure to push more often, and thus show this increased workload in the data due to several factors: economic uncertainty and the desire to do well, the use of work as a distraction to combat boredom when you're stuck at home, management pressure to bring products to market, or team standards to push frequently to maintain fast and stable software delivery rates. ”
While developer productivity has improved - according to the GitHub report - since the start of the health crisis, Nicole Forsgren, vice president of research and strategy for GitHub, warns of burnout. Telework has its good and bad sides, and managing daily life alongside work can be very stressful for workers.
