Been there done that. Corporate IT often doesn't want to acknowledge that devs exist in the company because it's so much easier to just lock down the admin and marketing use cases.

It's fucking scary how far they're willing compromise security internally and externally to avoid extra work and maintain control.

It's amazing how well such companies can repulse developers:

- Everyone works on 8GB windows machine and sticky keyboard

- Remote desktop

- "You wanna install your IDE? Yeah contact IT, gonna take few days"

- Can't install any of cli tools

- Atlassian suite

- Spend half a day in meetings

- Scrum

Then they complain how hard it is to get a good developers...

Probably. I’ve never seen one that’s useable. Also BitBucket is quite terrible when compared to Github.

It has some friction in spots, but I like it a lot. A little configuration made it fit how we work. It does the job.

However, I hear other companies like the configurability too...and their crappy processes were so easily configured that it became a crappy tool for their poor developers.

Not at all. In my opinion, it sucks, but it's the best tool available for the job.
