You say "save". Management, at least here, would translate this into "real savings" this by firing nine or ten developers. That is true "saving". "Saving" money by not hiring a new employee is not "saving" in their world view. "Saving money" is "reducing cost". It is not "eliminating future costs". Productivity is the responsibility of the individual programmer. Or, "a poor workman blames his tools!"
