one of the things one can do if he is in corresponding position is to
ban debuggers. i found that after month or two people start producing
better code with better documentation and "control knobs". and
surprisingly faster. debugger is just a kind of bad habit, and when
people faced the fact that they will not be payed for work simulation
(and why should we?), they either go or becomes more productive.
