> The managers at Fog Creek don't do code reviews, don't look at commit logs, don't look at the features that developers have built?
Correct. The only managers are the founders and maybe one other person. Everyone else is part of a dev team. The managers trust the teams to do what they need to do.
> At my job productivity is shown by the code I commit and the features I build, not the time that I visibly appear to be typing away at my keyboard.
What gives you the impression that anyone is counting time at the keyboard? Having been both an on-site employee and the first remote dev, I can tell you it was very much about getting your code written, nothing more.
