I strongly disagree about connectivity being inherently required by software development and therefore an implied part of the job. To take it a step further I believe most developers would benefit from being offline some parts of the day, unless some exceptional circumstances make that unproductive.
- eddtries 3y agoThat’s ridiculous, you’re conflating productivity (due to slack and meetings, I assume) with fast internet access. You need to install potentially large packages and images, commit code, and be clear in meetings - that’s a minimal standard for software and if someone can’t do that because they’re on some crazy kbps internet then they’re not suitable for the job.
- dmantis 3y agoI live in a country with fast enough 5MB/s and huge ping (300ms+) internet. There is no problem with installing packages, downloading deps and so on, but realtime remote typing or gaming could be really clunky. Don't forget that you don't need a fast ping for development (with local env). "Good internet" is a very broad definition.
