Most programmers breakdown because they sit working from home all day, and all night. Their neighbours think they are strange, but if there is always a luxury car parked outside their home, all the neighbours hey cool, I wanna do what you do. It gives more confident to the programmer, he will perform better, so you need to put also an extra $50K / year on the package for increased performance + the car ofcourse, else the $50K will be wasted
