It is to late for me to contribute code, but consider this:

Even if merlyn presented me the finest collection of code he's able to produce, I would want to test it before I throw it in a production environment, and I guess he expects me to do so.

If you're working on sensitive data and are not permitted to test your code in a development-environment:Quit if you can! You will have more trouble than any job can be worth, if you are not allowed to work like a thinking human being.

Update: The second paragraph may sound a bit blunt, but I had my fair share of 'do it know, ask questions later' situations, and somehow I always lost, one way or the other
