I think you are misinterpreting my point. I am not saying it cannot be done. I am saying it has higher risk and we should not normalize it just because it gets stuff done. I would like you to actually address the point about the public issues posed by these setups like I pointed out in the COVID case.

Also, you said

> asked IT for VB.NET and were able to quickly proceed with the work that actually mattered to them

I have already addressed this. > We just make it work not because its possible, but because nobody wants to go through the requisition forms.

Edit: Also just insisting that whatever makes it work should be used sounds like a carpenter who is proud of using a spoon as a hammer. Even if you are not a carpenter, I don't think anyone would feel good about using spoon as a hammer in a DIY project.
