Everyone in my team at work (Front End developers) just got administrative access to their PC today. It’s ridiculous to thing about working as a programmer and not have the rights to install things, but that’s what we had. This got me thinking about the post on The Programmer’s Bill of Rights over at Coding Horror. I went and had a quick look to see if it mentioned admin access. To my surprise the post said nothing about such thing. Maybe it’s just too stupid to even mention not having admin access? Or was I spoiled during all my co-op terms?
In any case, giving programmer the right to do their work properly is very important, and it should definitely be include in our bill of rights. ;)
