I am a developer. Give me a VM I have root access to and walk away. That’s all I need from you.

  Right. And then we’ll see how secure your app is running after you follow a bunch of random blog posts telling you to make all files world-writable, or to disable SELinux, or just turn off the firewall. And then the inevitable “it works for me” when we try to push to production and it all breaks.

    Just assume for a second that you are talking to an experienced competent developer here. I have never done any of the things you mention. And I have never worked with a developer who did any of the things you mention. I have however worked with a narcissistic power hungry incompetent sys admin in the past. That doesn’t mean though that I automatically assume that all sys admins are the same. The one I am working with right now is highly competent and a pleasure to work with. And he is smart enough to simply give VM’s with root access to developers who ask for it.
