Companies will pay millions to offload liability. It can get pathological. I especially hate the scenario where you don't even have root or sudo on your own production servers and have to beg for logs and software installs.

That's going to basically force the company to move slower - it could be its demise. If you've got a chance, listen to Lex's recent interview with Jeff Bezos. They talk about two door/one door decisions and how companies should encourage anyone in a large company to take certain decisions without consulting the higher ups.
