At one of my jobs we were a COBOL shop. We had a warehouse file that
had 13 sets of variables for our 13+ warehouses. And all of the
programs had 13 sets of calculations, because the head of IT (whose
title should have been "Son-In-Law to the President) didn't
understand how arrays worked. I did, and had re-coded a nasty
program using arrays. One of the other programmers mentioned that
the Head didn't like arrays, but I ignored the warning. Nothing
happened, and the program ran a lot better!
I'd never been told officially, so I just followed the rule that "If
it's not forbidden it's permitted."

The bad part was he did not allow any of his hires or contractors to
code stuff he didn't understand.
