What I don’t get is why it’s considered bad form to sudo -i or just login as root.. do people only do one thing a day or are they expected to work all day?
Also, when you do a sudo.. it only asks you for the password once, so it’s basically the same as running as root or sudo -i.
Assuming the workstation is locked when you get up, are there any other real security concerns?
Once you switched to root, that's it, you have full power. But when you run as sudo, there are limitations placed that can protect you. Plus the sudo command doesn't just give access, it has a lot of fine grained access control. You can control what users can do unlike in windows where Admin has lot of power but not fine grained access.
When IT teams give someone sudo access, they give you access to specific command that you need to run and nothing more. If they give root access, there is nothing stopping you from effectively destroying it if you want.
You are not in the sudoers list
This incident will be reported.

In a similar vein, kill -9 > end task.
One of our seniors likes to drop this sometimes and when I see it I'm like “oh sh!t"
Haha! Very new to the Linux world! This gave me a chuckle!

Audo doesn't really roll off the tongue
I can't tell if it's more asian sounding either way
