Re: Development Computer Efficiency Question

We find it more beneficial to allow the programmers their own laptops. The reasoning behind this is that every programming has his/her own workflow, and it is often aided by custom preferences on their laptop. Also, they are probably more used to their laptop and keyboard. For example, I personally program our robot using my laptop in either Windows 7 or Fedora 22 Linux. I also don't use eclipse, but instead sublime, and this helps me be the most efficient programmer I can be. at the end of the day, it depends on your team preference, because people are different, and efficiency in humans is mostly anecdotal to the humans themselves. If they feel better using their own laptops, then they should go for it. Plus, now days everyone has a laptop, which is customized just for them.
