They need hardware to give to google interns.

  Do they actually make interns use chromebooks?
  • cobookman 9y ago
    yep. However you cannot code locally on your laptop at google. So you end up either using a web based IDE or just using the desktop workstation they give you (locally, ssh, or VNC).

      Like, no one can? That seems weirdly restrictive. Is it for security reasons?
      • kyrra 9y ago
        Code on laptops is a major security concern for any company if the laptop is stolen. While the improvements in disk encryption has helped curb this problem, it is definitely a risk larger companies don't always want to take.

      You're free to do work over ssh+tmux+vim. That's what I do.
