Eh. Most of my work (not all) is done within the confines of a company. There are some dramatically different ideas when you're writing something to be used WITHIN a company than when you're writing something to be used BY a company.
Most of it makes sense, or seems obvious, but your SAAS companies don't typically offer Active Directory (or LDAP) integration, as most companies aren't willing to expose their directories outside of their firewalls.
Auditing levels tend to be more paranoid, and need to be structured so that they can be fed into (or are at least sane enough to be read by) the industry-standard log analysis tools.
Admin accounts are typically transitioned to in-house users, or employees of the company, instead of being managed by the man behind the curtain (you).
So, perhaps it's that my experience is different than the majority of HN here, but to me, 'enterprise development' is a dramatically different process than what those guys at 37Signals do, for example.
