I work exclusively on remote servers. My remote "servers" are a 500 node cluster, and I do research and development for a parallel and distributed language and runtime system. The remote systems are setup for development, are managed by full-time staff, and continuously backed up. Not everyone has the same workflow, partly because not everyone has the same work.
