His business seems to run on AWS Lambda, which is about as far away from running on cheap (unreliable) hardware as possible? The laptop he mentions is just for working.
- baz00 3y agoThat's the cheap hardware I'm talking about. What is in your hands is the most important thing of all because without it you can't serve your customers or increase ROI.
- jokethrowaway 3y agoI can walk into a shop and have a device I can be productive in 1-2 hours. I don't think it's a huge deal, just keep your secrets backed up in multiple ways you can retrieve

Yeah, but ... what is in my hands can be replaced in a matter of hours: just go out and get a new laptop at the nearest place! It's even easier than that, because I primarily use Linux, there are times, in 2023, that I used a Core2 Duo with 2GB of RAM for days at a time on a particular project. That's about 10m to pull the old laptop out of the cupboard, due `git pull`, and carry on working.
