It’s also why I leave stacks of 3x5 cards at every desk, cups full of pens at every desk (and in every conf room) and a heap of markers at every whiteboard.  I can see it interrupt their flow when one of my devs has to stop and look around to find something to write with or on. 

Now I have to get them the pick up the same habit…

This is also just one type of scarcity - Jon Tran got me thinking about abundance, to quote him: “When you’ve made something abundant you haven’t just made something better, you’ve made something completely different”.  That has really stuck with me.  I try to make the dev tools and environments for my team abundant usually through heavy automation and reduction of steps.  It really makes a qualitative difference to be able to have a single button or step to perform repetitive tasks.

This reminds me of you introducing me to git. The speed & qualitative difference completely transformed my workflow.
