The programmer can do what needs to be done without obsessively tracking time, and the employer has a known cost that can be submitted to management and accounting. A talented programmer might be able to do a $10,000 job in a few hours. So be it. You'd actually rather pay that person $2,000 per hour and have it done tomorrow than hire some hack at $40/hr and have it take six weeks.
