It's a giant pain for my work for sure. Anything which could potentially have some intersection at some point with European customers has to fully comply with all of these EU privacy regulations.
Usually that means taking an already clunky internal system and adding a bunch of restrictions to it to make it even more clunky. Also banning some useful practices and tooling that me and people like me use for our day-to-day.
Yes, some of this is due to internal dysfunction.
- snowpid 4y agoCould you specify which "useful practices and tooling" do you mean?
- RajT88 4y agoI've thought about it, and no, I cannot.
- snowpid 4y agoTBH, it is weird, if you say, EU coders can not use useful practice and tools but you can not tell, which.
- RajT88 4y agoThat was not what I was saying actually. I was suggesting US employees on my team of all types (not just coders) are restricted by EU laws in what tools and processes they can leverage. My reason for not wanting to give details is because this could reveal things about my employer which would possibly put me at compliance risk.
