Interesting! Follow up questions:
- Are there any constraints or requirements on the kind of device, software installed, etc.? E.g. using a VPN, antivirus.
- Do you use a separate work and personal accounts?
- laptop or desktop?
- how does your employer feel about personal projects?
Thanks!
- jeffbee 6y agoAccessing anything at work requires Citrix in to a windows VM that's racked up in a dark datacenter somewhere. What device anyone uses to accomplish this is their own business. No VPN or AV, no MDM or any of that nonsense. I personally use a Pixelbook Go with an external monitor for this purpose. Really anything will do the job.
- lliamander 6y agoAh, so actually development is done on a virtual desktop. Makes sense. Currently, I do most of my work locally on a work issued laptop (and external monitor) with some services offloaded to AWS. I wouldn't mind building a desktop PC for fun, but as I don't really do high-end gaming, I couldn't see justifying the expense unless I was able to do work on it as well. I'd of course have to get employer sign-off, but I'm just trying to figure out what that kind of agreement might look like.
