> Taking a generally antagonistic and hostile approach to communicating with the developers rather than again supporting them This point is very ironic given your entire comment. It sounds like many of your complaints may be due to you not understanding the requirements that another team may have. You're complaining about costs and requirements that you are trying imposing on another team ($$, lax security). As an example, logging can get extremely expensive. A "better system" can't always fix an ungodly amount of unnecessary data. It might be best if you try to understand why they are working the way that they are. Trust me, they are not doing unnecessary work just trying to fuck with you.
