To each their own, but in my experience, both professionally and personally, I find `sudo` to be mostly useless, and an annoyance at best (which can be good for some people, just not me). My typical use-case for `sudo` is: do X, oh, I need sudo permissions, sudo !!. Any time I'm on Linux, I usually operate as root to avoid this annoyance and I put more weight into securing the machine in other ways - IP restrictions, cycling keys, cycling the servers, etc. Sudo can prevent rookie mistakes, like wiping an OS or removing certain directories, but I consider most machines I work on to be ephemeral anyways, and anytime I make one of these mistakes it is a reminder to not do that next time - I prefer this to being hand-held and denied access superficially. Oddly though, I do like that `sudo` exists in its current form, for people who are not as experienced. For me personally, I almost never interact with it.
