Ah, but the question is how much sugar do you eat with it? I once measured out how much sugar I put in mugs of tea for a day - it was scary. Then I cut down.

I've done this too, several years ago (very late 90's) when developing a C/C++ application. error rates were very high for a variety of reasons - sloppiness was one of them. We removed the compiler and made the developers give their code to a build manager for compilation. It took about a week of swearing and frayed tempers but their quality improved dramatically because it really made them think about what they were doing. By the end of the week code was compiling and working first time. We even had a pipeline going, with fixes, additions and tests all being shoved down the pipe. Most agreed it was a worthwhile exercise and they certainly never forgot it. Those of us with grey (or no) hair will have worked like this long ago. I remember in the mid 80's it took more than 24 hours to completely compile aircraft simulations for array processors (what?), and the only editor being EDT or VI. Aye, we were lucky.
