Am I missing something here, or did they build a machine that even their own developers cannot use? When you go to the Google campus, will everyone still be toting around a Macbook?
- habosa 14y agoMany of their developers use Chromebooks, I believe. Code is not allowed to be stored locally on mobile devices so they use Chromebooks and SSH (or any other laptop and SSH).
- objclxt 14y agoAdditionally, I think that going forward on-site interviews at Google will use Chromebooks to type code up, rather than white-boarding (which makes me sad, but I suspect will make all the people who hate white-boarding a lot happier).
- madoublet 14y agoInteresting. I could not give up my IDE.
- rayiner 14y agoThat pretty much explains the Pixel then.
- deltasquared 14y agoAnd this is why I am always suspicious of an IDE. This sounds like a really nice way to talk to a Linode to develop on.
- jklein24 14y agoGoogle engineers are not actually allowed to write code locally on those laptops. The macbooks are only used when hanging out around campus to view email and ssh into workstations (linux desktops) where actual work is done. That same thing can be done from chromebooks.
