I’m curious, can you share what industries this practice is common, sshing into a protected source code machine?

  Not the parent poster but for some financial services companies (bank, insurance), I have heard of development being done on a remote desktop, sometimes without direct ssh access.

  In embedded, I did a _lot_ of development work _on_ the physical target hardware via SSH. It wasn't every product, but it was most. It wasn't from the beginning, but rather there was always some point in development time where the feedback loop would tighten up dramatically if the work was being done on a device on the bench.

  I worked in Security for a bit (that was actually a case of RDPing to a dev environment) and some friends at certain projects at big tech were telling me about their setups and how they had to learn Emacs again because all the code and their dev workstations were in a protected remote environment and no source code was allowed on their local machines.
