Yeah, i worked briefly at multinational japanese motor company and this was their logic. I was hired as a software developer contractor and HQ had rules stating, no open source software, no free software and the one that puzzled me the most no in house executables (WHY THE FUCK DID THEY HIRE ME?)

How were you supposed to test your software if you weren't allowed to create an executable?

Eventually it was decided I would write Javascript on a web page I made. Skills I never declaired having I told them I was a java dev.

Javascript is a part of Java, duh!

I literally had the "Java is to javascript as car is to carpet" conversation with my dickhead boss. He didn't get it and I had to explain to him that you don't drive a carpet to work.
