As long as you hate being a part of that shitty machine, it's ok... I guess.

EDIT: I love my job.. mostly because I got to install an app for my team that increases productivity WITHOUT:

-Requesting a dev server build

-Requesting a test server build

-Getting permission to use an open source tool

-Getting persmission to run said tool on "non-standard language" (PHP)

-Explaining why I'm installing a tool for which one already exists for our usecase (the enterprise solution sucks)

-Getting a prod server build

The original poster was going on about how when his startup is an enterprise he won't do things 'that way'.

But enterprises work best when you have those parts that you hate in play.

No it's not ok. It's a reflection on my fear of instability :).
