Some other things that I started to put in place that have been spread out to other teams where the whole Dev review/QA loop (PR, branching structure, commit writing/linting etc)
Back in college our school had some limitations on the internal networks in our dorms. After doing my normal stuff (you know mega downloading,ftp, limewire etc) my net stopped working. Come to find out they had a bandwidth monitor and would just block you for some time if you used too much and had to contact tech support, even for simple things like window updates.
Anyways, somehow I found out I could tweak some net configs in the registry. So here I randomly change some dword value to change my Mac address. I finally got back online and just forgot about it.
A few days later I came back to my room after classes, my roommate told me the school officers raided the room trying to get on my PC. I went to the student dean's office and come to find out I took net access from I think the president and they tracked it to my PC ... Some luck I say lol .. Tech support said that there was no possible way I could change my Mac address after a bit back and forth I decided to just agree with him.
O yeah and they had like a 200-300 page printout of irc chatlogs ,there was more stuff but I'll end it there.
Needless to say my net access was blocked for a year even tho I had a work study job with the webdev department. It didn't stop me though, I ended up running a long cat5 cable from the dorm next door. Fun times.

I know this goes against the normal and people want to attach "right now " value (hours it took reflected on check) but going beyond the call can also give you leverage when your yearly review comes up for example.
