Customer: “Do you have any Beethoven?”
Sales Person: “Certainly, our Classical section has quite a selection of Beethoven.”
Customer: “Well, I couldn’t find any of Beethoven, only various orchestras performing Beethoven’s music. Don’t you have any live Beethoven?”

Sales Person: “Well, I would doubt that, but you are welcome to check.”
Customer: “Why don’t you think they will have it?”

Customer: “Well I didn’t know that. So if there are no live recordings anywhere, how do people know what it sounds like?”
Me: “Well the sheet music was luckily printed on fireproof paper.”
Customer: “Wow, they had fireproof paper back then?”

The Number One Developer Productivity Tool |... →
If you require your developers to work onsite, the number one productivity tool you provide for them is a door that closes (well, 4 walls and a ceiling to go with it). Given control of their environment, developers can reach their peak productivity most days and sustain it. Without control, most developers will have a hard time even getting close to their peak.
