Need more productivity from your software development staff? Need 'em to put in more hours to get a project done on time? Buy 'em a pizza and hand out t-shirts. It's an age-old and effective method to get programmers and techies to willingly (sometimes enthusiastically) give up a weekend. But why do they come so cheap?

Pizza used to work on me back when I wasn't working out. Nowadays, it takes a Subway whole wheat footlong turkey and swiss to get me to stay. :)
