This is what makes startups so special, and powerful.

Everybody now knows (or should know) that the more modern type of developer environment - wear what you want, arrive when you want, stay home when you want, have all the free coffee you want - makes them MORE productive.

Pissing them off or giving them a shitty environment to work in makes them less productive.

And productivity = money.

Of course defects cost money. One defect means you lose money once.

Less productivity means you lose money every single day.
