A comment on Ask HN: Why are software companies stingy with developer hardware upgrades?.
- Budget
Money goes to different departments. Some managers are better than others at winning internal bids.
- Regulations and internal policies
Big corp procedures can sink any request.
- Project
Consulting world. It's likely you get a lighter, shinier and faster machine if you’re going to spend lots of time at the client site.
- Migration procedure
At some companies the IT support can lack manpower to process high volume of migrations. I've seen this taking months.
