Fair enough
How about in addition Every programmer will have their domain account granted local admin rights to . The workstation(s) they are developing on .

How do you discover problems related to having elevated rights in all other environments, that stop your solution from working in production - causing a failed production implementation or worse - your users start having issues that didn't get discovered in testing.

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.

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.
