Rule 11 - Don't unplug the Ethernet cable from my laptop when I'm not in the office. I have shit running on remote servers via ssh and they aren't always in a screen or tmux session. I'll become very angry and yell at you when you do this. If you do it repeatedly, I'll body slam you in the parking lot.
- pilsetnieks 14y agoYou have a valid point but the article is about co-working spaces, not open-plan offices.
- 16s 14y agoNot sure what an open-plan office is. I did not use that term. It's my desk and my Ethernet cable and it's plugged into my laptop. No one else sits at my desk and no one should unplug my Ethernet cable from my laptop when I step out of the office. Period. Edit: So is an office with three desks (one desk assigned to each worker) an "open-plan" or a "shared working space"? Three people work in that office and they all have a key to the door.
- incision 14y agoIf it's "your desk" where "no one else sits" then it would seem unlikely that you're in a co-working space. If you're in a place you call "the office" and other people have easy enough access to "your desk" to unplug your laptop, it probably has an open-plan. If none of this is true, you might as well be talking about purple dogs stealing the umbrellas from your hamburger patch.
- jaredsohn 14y agoCoworking spaces (at least Sandbox Suites in San Francisco) allow you to rent out dedicated desks by paying a higher rate.
- kscaldef 14y agoMost co-working spaces that I've looked into had options for fixed desks. Even if they don't, it might be nice to think you can go get lunch or a coffee without someone taking your desk (or ethernet cable)

- btilly 14y agoObvious question. Why are they not always in a screen or tmux session? It seems that your unwillingness to take that precaution has lead to your threatening physical violence on co-workers. It can also turn momentary network hiccups into a much more serious deal than it would otherwise be. Perhaps you should think carefully about that fact.
- zach 14y agoTypically for me, the answer is that they are not interactive ssh sessions but long Rails migrations running via Capistrano. Anyone have a suggestion how to use tmux for those?
- seregine 14y agoInstead of running the migration from your laptop, log into a server (with tmux) and run it from there.
