Once I got two developers to use their software on the live system. As a result, they fixed a few bugs which didn't appear on the dev systems as those were being run with much smaller data sets.

When normal users had to wait 20 seconds for a page, they didn't like it, but it was completely possible that the system just was that slow. But when the developers had to wait 20 seconds they used the time to look up what took so long and found minor bugs which caused the slowdown and fixed them right away.

As a result, the developers asked to be given more opportunities to work with the live system.
