有{間}客栈

来自Coding Horror上的一组漫画，很有意思，深刻的说明了如何激发一个程序员？

老张，医生说你可以听见我说话，虽然你看起来面带菜色。我来只是想告诉你，小陈干把一切事情都搞定了，请放心休息。他甚至发现了你的代码中的一个性能瓶颈，并且说现在性能至少能够提高两倍。

那不可能，走，现在去办公室！

呵呵，激发程序员的基本原则就是：

Don't try to race sheep,
Don't try to herd race horses

If you have neophyte developers, herd them with maxims, guidelines and static rules. If you have experienced developers, rules are less useful. Instead, encourage them to race: engage in a little friendly competition and show off how good they are to their peers.
