My 2p.
After doing several projects, I noticed the following points about my work:
IT is a knowledge industry. It is very hard to measure the productivity of a coder. You have to rely on the motivation and the professionalism of the coder - and you therefore have to strenuously resist any initiative that may piss off that coder. Motivation is fragile, and very difficult to recapture. What works for me is when my boss shows an active interest in my work, and gives positive feedback - 'the customers think this interface is really easy to use and intuitive', 'would this have been easier if it was done OOP?'. I really enjoy working hard when people appreciate my efforts (regardless of the £££s). This has been a sample of 1 however so not statistically valid.
