Yeah, customised workflows are great. Resources can always help though. An SSD vs a HD, 64GB of ram compared to 1GB, 16 fast CPU cores vs 1 slow core, will all help with development. Things like integration servers and such can help too. A testing rack of 30 mobile devices is another useful thing. If you have 100 times the amount of processing power as a standard macbook pro I can assure you, a good programmer will be able to use it to increase their productivity. Even something like a backup internet line could save 1 day a year. Fast backup and restore tools could save another 1-5 days per year. There's one script that helps a lot with improving productivity... sudo echo "127.0.0.1 news.ycombinator.com" >> /etc/hosts
