I'm developing on the company's machines. Why would that be a problem?

They created an account for me on the Windows machines. I'm on my way to set up an Arch VM.

With all due respect You really don't understand the difference between a development server and your personal PC - How many years experience did you say you had?

Why the attitude? If it's a simple definition problem there's no need to get snippy, just address the issue and move on.

Given the op's claimed experience if they don't understand that your pc on your desk top is not the same as your dev/test/live systems - it's about time some one pointed this out to them before they get in real trouble at work.

What, in anything the OP said, makes you think they don't understand the difference between their workstation and the dev/test/live systems?

I understand the difference between those, what makes you think I don't?

What?
