Just read an article about employers increasingly monitoring their WFH employees with software installed on their computers. This is the "sitting at a desk and typing" measure of productivity. How do they propose monitoring the "solving problems by thinking hard" measure of productivity?


They can't. They have to capitulate to the idea that thinking is work. Especially in knowledge work.

But then again, since thoughts are words, thinking can be translated into typing that is monitored: notes instead of code.
