Boss, yesterday: hey, we just got you a Windows 10 machine. Test the app and make sure it works.
Me: kay. (Fast forward20 minutes) I found a hell of a bug.
Boss: what?
Me: the SA disabled scripts on the machine so I can't build.
Boss: Are you serious?
Me: yeah, and he's out until January.

Gain admin access and remove that fucking restriction that dickhead set before

@asgs Never mess with a Sys Admins work, they bite and thise are the guys who understand the permissions on Linux, which, to be honest, should be the Catholic churches threshold for becoming a saint. You don't wanna mess with them.

And you'll be the default reason for any future Problem.

@Godisalie you got to be kidding. Sysadmins don't have a clue as to what a dev needs to do on their machine. Maybe the admin didn't want to enable execution of powershell scripts for a manager kind of guy, but when it comes to dev, it is meaningless. Of course, the dev could raise a service request to get it done, but when they are OOO, you don't really want to sit around, do you?

@asgs I don't want to but I want even less to get on the bad side of a sys admin. They're scary.

@Godisalie I'm primarily a sysadmin and spend a lot of time protecting inexperienced developers from themselves. The other side of the coin :)

@Godisalie why are they scary? Because they know networks better than you?
If they modify your machine so that you can't work, they can get fired, not you.
