Its often enough easier to control the system directly, which you care for, then to wait for others doing what you can do by yourself.

I'm waiting again for an issue being fixed by some admin from a jira system. I could just do that myself, i could do that better then the other person, but i don't have the permissions.

Sometimes its like 'do i pay someone else to paint my walls vs. do i do it myself'.

I'm a software engineere, it feels naturally to control my environment.
