    Software developers who never have, and never will have to, use the software for real.

    Yes. The customer doesn’t necessarily know what’s possible or know how to articulate what features they want. I spent one week in a position where I was using my own software for production and immediately made several simple enhancements once I had hands on experience with the expected business process.

    Every programmer should go through an exercise like this at least once in a while.









  • 8pm thru 12am is prime time for streaming. Netflix would need to pivot or go out of business.

    Since most phones networks now operate over IP, overnight customer service would break. The US can no longer use call centers in India for daytime call centers.

    Batch jobs requiring Internet access can no longer run overnight. Instead they would need to run during the day, tying up bandwidth and CPU for other users. System engineers would need to take this into consideration.

    It would be more difficult to coordinate with friends when going out at night. You could no longer order an Uber at 2am if you’re drunk off your ass. DWI events would increase.
