Meh it's usually for shitty companies that expect their devs to write real software, ssh into things, access databases, but put the same hurdles in front of them as joeblow from sales who can't use an ipad to buy a sandwich without clicking a phishing link. So every new project is slowed down cause it takes weeks of emails and teams conversations to get a damn db sandbox and it's annoying.

On the other hand IT doesn't know you and has millions of issues to attend to

IT guy here. If we give one user special rights, that login will get passed around like a blunt at a festival to "save time".
Users are dumb and lazy, and that includes devs.

It's not special rights, it's project materials approved by leadership, and noted on a published and approved feature roadmap

Edit assuming requisitioning a scaled db replica is "special" is kinda aligned with the meme lol

Funny, that has actually been my entire experience with corporate IT. This field attracts the type of firemen that won't climb down the pole because it's a safety hazard. Y'all are... something special.
