You Hate the IT department,
You Hate the IT department, and They Hate You Right Back
The IT department is rewarded for their ability to keep bad things from happening, and that means there is a pressure to create and then preserve stability. Meanwhile, you are rewarded for your ability to make good things happen, meaning that a certain amount of risk-taking is a necessary condition of your job.
Risk-taking undermines stability. Stability deflects risk-taking. You think your IT department are jerks for not helping you do what you want to do; they consider you an idiot for installing software without their permission. Also, because of the way your interests are (mis)aligned, you are both right.
Oh, too true

Larry’s approaching perl6 through the Programming Perl book (the Camel). He’s going chapter by chapter through the Camel, writing documents about the perl6 equivalent concepts. These missives are known as “Apocalypses”, for reasons best known to Larry. 🙂
He’s churning through the RFCs, looking through them to deeper issues. He hopes to emit Apocalypses more-or-less weekly, although some chapters
have fewer RFCs and issues than others.
What a birthday gift, thanks Larry.
