Tragedy of the commons.

If you do this, your programmers will leave your company. And your competitors will offer them better computers.

You'd need all software companies to sync and do this, or at least a large majority.



I think a good solution is to have a lowest common denominator machine, and rotate developers through using it for a day, maybe once a month.

Windows

Celeron

2-4gb ram

5400rpm hard drive

No administrative privileges

Shitty antivirus installed

1080p monitor
