Back when I was looking for ideas for the 20 Things in 20 Minutes article, a developer suggested that the CIO use those 20 minutes to sign off on an upgrade to all programmer PCs. And plenty of people shouted, “Huzzah!” right behind him. I confess that I was a little surprised, because my perception has always been that developers always get the newest, fastest computers; compilers are, after all, pretty demanding applications.Apparently, I was wrong—at least if I listened to developers’ opinions.So I was particularly interested to read a blog post, my bill of rights as a programmer, which lists at least one programmer’s requirements before starting a new job. One of these is “Every Programmer shall have a fast PC,” but the list also includes “Every programmer shall have a high back[ed] comfortable chair” and “Every programmer shall be allowed to attend a developers conference once a year.” How many of these ten “requirements” does your company fulfill for its development staff?
