+  Do you consider local development sites as pre-production environments? They need to be updated, too!
+---
+
+
+A few days ago, I asked [how many pre-production environments][0] you have for your software application.
+
+But did you include each Developer's local environment?
+
+Each developer will have a development environment - either on their computer or a development server - to write and initially test their code before it's deployed to a test, staging or production environment.
+
+## Here's the thing
+
+Each Developer's local or development site is an environment too.
+
+They also [need to be easily updatable][1] and consistent with the other environments, but they are often overlooked or forgotten.
+
+When was the last time you or your Developers updated your local environment?
