For good reason. Stuff like that is a really high risk and won’t meet audit standards.

I’m in charge of the IT goons somewhere. We aspire to provide a better level of service and maintain local repos of things you’re allowed to use. Stuff like Node isn’t allowed near anything important though.

I would be careful. An agency doing stuff like that is probably running an EDR that will detect and report on what you’re doing. If it catches what you’re up to, you’ll be jammed up.

It might very well be for a good reason. But in my experience, it's never the policies but the communication. IT was right to make whatever policy change they needed to, the fucked up by not telling any of the dev teams.

100% agree. Most fubar things are caused by poor communication, lack of empathy and poor understanding.
