My experience has been product engineers ask for full root permissions when they need 5% and immediately report anything less as an impediment.
- Aeolun 5y agoMy experience as a product engineer and lack of root is that I spend 50% of my time asking people to do things that I could have done myself in 5 minutes. I’ll confess that I sometimes break something that takes a day to fix, but I’m not sure if that’s worth it. Especially considering I regularly wait weeks until platform can get around to fixing my specific issue.
