Legendary bassist Leland Sklar put a switch on his bass that does nothing. He calls it the "producer switch" — when a producer asks for a different sound, he flips the switch (making sure the producer can see), and carries on. He says this placebo has saved him a lot of grief.

Game developers used to be weeks or months ahead but only reveal pitiful, inch-at-a-time progress. As long as the "producer" believes progress is being made they're happy. No time to add a new feature, we have barely even made spec as it is (the project is complete you just don't know).
