"Will I have root on my dev machine" is on my list of interview questions, now.
Probably is for me too. This is something I've taken for granted as I work for a small company and I am the IT admin...and development team lead, I wear lots of hats. Not the owner though, basically like a CTO+.
Asking questions like that can cause hiring managers like myself to have no choice but to offer you higher pay grades, because that question is a strong signal of experience.
Experience shows that you still force me to use WSL, because you want to develop your stupid app in the same setup as the Windows store version and i have to fix the not-so-much cross-platform monster of three people before me who never heard of technical debt.
Absolutely.
My environment sucks almost as much as the next one. It just pays better and we get to be angry at difficult real problems caused by the previous people, instead of stupid self-inflicted problems caused by our own shortsightedness.
Edit: I mean, there's still some problems caused by our own shortsightedness, obviously.
And technically I didn't say you would like my answer, just that I'll pay more because you asked. Lol.
