This episode is highly influenced by Paul Graham's essay on maker's vs manager's schedules. He points out they are inherently conflicting in priorities. The biggest issues come from developers not being able to handle interruptions and managers not being able to wait for a convenient time. The guys start the episode looking at the differences in schedules and where time is allocated throughout the workday. The latter half of the episode is dedicated to ways that managers and developers can work together on creating functional schedules.
