I'm consulting with a company that has the opposite: the developer environment is locked down tight. Like, they've even managed to disable developer tools in Chrome.
It is the least productive environment I've ever been in. It has made me a lot more aware of how much stuff we download from the internet for development, since I can't do that in this situation.
Fortunately, I get paid by the hour.
- Thiez 5y agoWhat purpose could locking down the dev tools possibly serve? Madness.
- acdha 5y agoIt could be an attempt to prevent someone from being socially-engineered into running code there – if you open the dev tools on sites like Facebook you'll see a warning message telling people not to paste anything in to the dev tools due to attacks like that. It's not uncommon for places to set policies based on general concerns and not having exceptions for technical staff.
- iamcurious 5y agoSounds fun, are they hiring remotely?
- jnwatson 5y agoThey are very, very against remote.
