Diálogos sobre a taylorização da atividade dos desenvolvedores das fábricas de software

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the hypothesis of taylorization of the work of the software factory developers from the discourse of these workers. The use of quality standards in software production is discussed as a possible trait of precariousness within this context. The argu-ments that the software process is routinized and the workers disqualified are discussed in counterpoint to the own developers' statements. We consider the hypothesis of tayloriza-tion inaccurate to describe the work experience of our interviewees; since the assumptions of the Taylorist organization do not dictate the division of production of software facto-ries, it would be more appropriate to reflect on the process of rationalization of software production.
