问HN：你的工作机器有多严格的限制？
我已经在软件工程领域工作了20多年。<p>我早期工作的地方几乎没有IT部门。作为开发者，你需要能够维护自己的机器。我们可以安装任何我们想要的软件，尝试不同的操作系统等等。完全自由，电脑是我们完成工作的工具，他们并不关心你是如何做到的。<p>这种自由早在很久以前就消失了。基本的企业监控软件和规章制度很早就出现了，但我们对工具的使用仍然有一定的自由。<p>我在同一家公司工作了近十年，他们逐渐收紧了对我们的限制。我们名义上是一家软件公司，但我们失去了管理员权限，安装软件的方式也从黑名单变成了白名单。我们安装的每个软件都需要IT部门的批准，而这个批准过程需要几周时间。<p>今天，他们取消了我们的Chrome扩展程序。现在我们只能安装大约15个在白名单上的扩展。我提交的所有申请都被拒绝了。<p>我对这种安排感到沮丧，并且想知道在这个行业中，这种情况现在有多普遍？<p>所以我真的很想知道，Hacker News的朋友们：你们在哪个行业工作，公司的规模有多大，你们的机器有多严格的限制？

I've been working as a Software Engineer for 20+ years.<p>Places I worked in the early years barely had an IT department at all. As a developer you were expected to be able to maintain your machine. We'd install whatever we want, experiment with different operating systems, etc. Total free rein, box was our tool to get work done with, they didn't care how you did it.<p>That went away a <i>long</i> time ago. Basic corporate spyware and rules came pretty early but still free rein over our tools.<p>I've worked with the same company for close to a decade now, and they have been tightening and tightening the noose slowly but surely. We're purportedly a software company, but we lost admin rights, installable software went from a blocklist to an allowlist. Everything we install needs to get approved by IT, and that approval takes weeks.<p>Today they took our Chrome extensions away. They've got an allowlist of about 15 extensions we can install. Everything I submitted for approval got rejected.<p>I'm frustrated with this arrangement and am wondering how standard this is these days in this industry?<p>So I'm genuinely curious, Hacker News: How big of a company do you work for, what industry, and how locked down is your machine?
