Ask HN: How many of you have to log hours?

Hi

I am a programmer and in my job I need to log all my hours against tasks in Jira, and submit that did the 40h.

Sometimes I don't like it because something takes longer than it should then I get pulled up on it. Sometimes the reason is I had a bad day couldn't concentrate etc. But it isn't good to say that so I need to invent an excuse.

My last job was similar and I really dislike it because it can only be bad for the programmer. Especially given how hard it is to estimate stuff.

Btw this is product dev work not billed out to client work. Those jobs I purposely avoid.
