    And then managers that don’t get this will try to shove policies down our throats about how “pre-prod systems should not have access to prod data”.

    “just obfuscate it.” Sure, for all 300Tb of it from the 10 different sources that don’t really talk to each other and we were already doing magic to be able to join them together? They should give us a bottle of hard liquor per month/project.

      As one of the devops/sysadmin types, if we give access to prod data to preprod systems, they are now in audit scope and you have to harden them or we lose our insurance and compliance certs.

      Obviously the solution is to build some system where everything works out, but it’s not as easy as “just give root to devs”.
