That doesn't make sense.  If you are the owner of the file, why do you
need sudo???

I suspect that some over-use of "sudo" resulted in files or directories
belonging to root. What does

  find . -user 0

say?

(As a developer, you should never need sudo. You should only need in as
an administrator of your machine.)
