It actually makes sense. If you run the IT department, you have to risk giving almost all the code to developers who can then put it in an email to themselves.

The alternative is draconian restrictions that stifle creativity, freedom and leadership.
Trust, is very important.
- ars 15y agoI don't know why you were downvoted, but it's usually best not to mention it in the post. Most of the time it gets fixed by later moderators. (At least if the story is popular.)
- Joakal 15y agoI'm at 0 now. I've removed that edit for now. Just wondered why it was very negative. (The edit stated I was at -2 and asked why I was downvoted)
- deepGem 15y agoWell my friend, u've just drawn the wrong analogy here. Perhaps you have little or no idea of large scale software development. No developer can take a piece of code with him/her - implications are horrible. Even if they did, the code is probably worthless unless they managed to steal the entire code base. Assuming someone manages to accomplish this, it'll still take time for the damage to occur and by then the theft will be discovered. What these traders do is, from my understanding, far more risky and the chances of someone discovering their 'wrong trade' before the damage is incurred is probably nil. That's why u always hear that the trade lost so much money. U never hear, the trade was about to lose so much money and someone averted it.
