How about in addition

 

Every programmer will have their domain account granted local admin rights
to

.         The workstation(s) they are developing on

.         Servers used for development, testing and building

 

You can have the best equipment and tools in the world (no I haven't), but
if you are crippled in what you can achieve, that just generates tons of
frustration.

Usually another sys-admin verses developer with a IT manager (Unix/mainframe
background) that just does not understand.

Aaah no, nothing recent in the current place, but in the other places

in the past:

 

few of the items on the

http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/08/the-programmers-bill-of-rights.html

plus when looking for code snippets, finding that the site is blocked

due to the firewall considering it a "blog" ( god forbid if something

is blog then must only be for fun not for work ).

Not having the ability to install what ever tool was necessary and

useful for development.

 

All resulting in developing in secret after hours just to get things

done, problems researched on a fast net connection without a 10 sec

delay every time trying to view a page that might have a useful info

or not.

 

But some people had it worse, not being able to get on the programmer

forums (including Stack Overflow!).

 

So in retro respect I have had it really good.

 

Almost forgot : not being able to download project/code samples at

places since the Firewall Overlord deemed them not to be suitable.

 

I bet other programmers would have their own stories of policy gone

wild at the expense of common sense.

 

Regards
