Don't shit where you eat

In IT, some folk regularly use the PC they have for their e-mail, internet browsing, and tools like teams and slack, for tasks that require elevated permissions like IT Admin tasks or writing code and building applications. Email, internet browsing and USB flash drives are the number 1 cause for viruses and malware. The elevated permissions on the PC, and administrative permissions on the infrastructure might cause for security risks to increase. It will be easier for malware and viruses to spread through the IT infrastructure. Instead, IT admins and developers should use a separate machine to run their tasks that require elevated permissions.

Dude, stop coding on your personal device, don't shit where you eat!

Don't be cute

a phrase that means "Don't try to be clever or manipulative, especially in a way that's rude or unpleasant" according to the Cambridge Dictionary. It implies someone is being overly clever or trying to get out of something by being sly, and it's often used when someone is being impertinent or smart-alecky

Don't be cute
Marcus (smirking as he tucks the last slice of pizza into his jacket): Hey, don’t worry—I already paid for it. You can have it tomorrow.

Jenna (raising an eyebrow): Seriously? You’d do that for me?

Marcus (shrugging): Of course.

Jenna (playfully sniffing the air): Mmm, smells good. You really want me to wait until tomorrow?

Marcus (firmly, cutting off her teasing): Don’t be cute—just give me your phone so I can set a reminder to drop it by your place first thing in the morning.
