On HN, if you have a valid point but get unnecessarily aggressive about it, people will downvote you for attitude. This mostly keeps the forum under control.

I am sorry and I get carried away sometimes but it is frustrating seeing comments from cowboy devs saying to just give everyone admin, have an excel sheet of software and have people manage their own PC and to get rid of IT just because as here they got phished or breached.

That works for a 5 person company but not a 1000 person company. Or a 10 person company with 1000 machines.

		I used to work in test automation for a huge company with terribly annoying IT. I can tell you for a fact that our entire department had well-developed workarounds for the most annoying policies. We even had a few intune 0-days that we literally kept to ourselves to be able to do our jobs properly. Because in the end, it’s not IT on the line for their odious policies causing late delivery, it was us.
