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." | |
