donkulator298223hI've just wasted 5 minutes thinking about why your scale starts at 1 rather than 0, and what the two ends of the scale might represent, and whether it would be a linear scale.
So fuck all, basically. -
netikras3471523h0. It's the second december in a row that I'm on vacation through the whole month or more.

Lensflare1728823hYou mean paid work or also personal side projects work?
Paid work: 3
Side projects: I want it to be a 5 but probably it will be a 2.
Btw, @donkulator is right, the scale should start with 0.
Otherwise you need to assign a 1 to "no work at all", which is weird. Let‘s not be javascript, guys. -
donkulator298223h@Lensflare That's why I was thinking it might not be a linear scale. If it goes from 1 to 10 that suggests the amount of work done is the base 10 log of the number.
So score = pow(10,hours_worked/hours_awake)
But if we're talking about stuff accomplished rather than hours worked, then there isn't a hard upper bound so it's more complicated. -
Lensflare1728823h@donkulator it‘s a scale where 1 means no work, 10 means a lot of work, 0 means I‘d rather not tell, and -1 means infinite work

lungdart336421hI work my balls off and get nothing done.
We joke that the work day starts at 5pm. The day is all meetings to discuss the work were not doing in different contexts -
bazmd50713hHahaha... That scale really kicked off trouble with the Devs, be careful not to use integers recklessly around them.
Is it a Cardinal or Ordinal scale?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much work do you get done in the month of December?
