Since when do software engineers complain about maintaining privacy, security or compliance?

I have very much the opposite experience, they trash the place like toddlers then complain relentlessly when our auditors or anyone else points it out.

That says more about the companies and fields you chose to work in than software engineers as a whole

Or perhaps they are referring to more kinds of engineers. Security engineers, IT engineers, ops engineers, and so on. They are more likely to have the kinds of requirements that he's referring to.

Presumably some organizations are able to contain the rapacious software engineer. In those organizations, the software engineer is better able to offer this. As it happens, though, almost all of those would rather use ZDR Claude over this kind of thing just because of the BCDR issues etc.

Presumably they don't and op does. I think the engineers are complaining they want LLMs and op is stuck handing data over to a 3rd party or denying them access. This would be the compromise (self hosted LLM)

Because the companies they work for take their NDA's, compliance and other requirements as must haves rather than optional.

My team does. It’s an important constraint. Do your software developers routinely ignore critical requirements?
