On why unix root vs. user sucks big time (read is pure shit) |

|
A linux user since 2005 I have come to realize that its philosophy is |
|
pure shit when it comes to root vs. user management. |
|
|
|
I have exclusively used linux (unix like) operating systems for 15 |
|
years. At home I am the root user but at work I am a simple user with |
|
no privileges at work. We have no internet access at all. We cannot |
|
install any new software and what is worse, whenever we make a mistake |
|
we have to call the root users to fix it, since we are not allowed to |
|
fix it ourselves. |
|
|
|
This is nonsense, we must use the shitty bespoke software the company |
|
uses, but if we make a mistake we cannot fix it because we do not have |
|
the privileges to overwrite data on the database. |
|
|
|
This only makes things slow and clumpsy, the workforce to make things |
|
right is more expensive than it should be since a simple correction |
|
takes two or three people involved to fix it. |
|
|
|
I am not complaining because I do not like the job. I do like my job a |
|
lot. I only find that the workflow is not as fluid as it should be. |
|
|
|
The final conclusion is always the same: "They want it this way, they |
|
got it. No matter what the cost." |
