If I am just going to wait for a laptop and read documentation in the meantime, I am not gonna subject myself to that. PS: I like using your app!

I agree with this. Gotta bring Red Star linux for maximum comedic effect given the regulated nature of the job.

I am going in with a positive attitude that this is the case, but 100% with you no actual coding starts on my personal machine.

Sadly Mac's are all soldered in these days. My first Macbook Pro back in 2009 had so many mods, that I even took out the disc drive and used a special cradle to have a second SSD.

If the pay was absurdly good, I will gladly do whatever is needed. But it's not.

I like this take. And I have been in that position before, get my self familiarized with whatever frameworks they are using. But actual code, that's gonna need a work issued machin…

I have considered that. The only reason I will bring it with me is if I need to fill out any other on-boarding paper work, but that is the limit. Maybe off-boarding as well if they…

It amazes me what supposed SOC2 "compliant" companies are willing to skimp on. A recent employer of mine, also regulated kept fighting me on getting me a work laptop. Also another …

If only I still had my Lenovo S10 netbook from 2009 to bring in, I totally would. But if they can't get me a machine to do my job, I am concerned about my paycheck showing up.

I was baffled when a large global consulting firm had me use my personal laptop and iPad (which they filmed to show off my work to other clients) for a month before getting me setu…

To me the bigger issue is asking me to bring a laptop with me in the first place. But I will see how it plays out on Monday. As I said in another comment, I know the drill, no pers…

I need the paycheck, but I have plenty of runway.

Right there with you. I'll have to see how it plays out on Monday.

The only person higher I can go to is the CEO. And yes, their customer is celebrating a birthday today, I am sure they wouldn't be happy to hear about employees working on personal…

That's my plan, or they can buy my existing laptop at market rate on the spot and I will happily flash it. But in all reality they can walk down to Union Square Apple store across …

I am joining a small ~10 person startup in SF next week as a full time W2 employee. I am a software dev. The work is in a very regulated space (ITAR/ SOC2/etc) type stuff. My manag…

A few companies do "forever" licenses in addition to monthly/annual subscriptions, like Plex and Jetbrains. Plex offers their "lifetime" license for the equivalent of 24 monthly pu…

That is how I look at SaaS tools. If your hourly rate is greater than the months subscription it is worth it. In enterprise, just getting something hosted in a local server was hel…

Really awesome! I sent you an email. There are so many applications for this.

This could work great with sql2sheets[1] new feature[2] I launched yesterday, which lets you collect html form responses directly to google sheets, if you want to stay on brand and…

At my previous day jobs I often was asked to create various reports from our databases and email someone a CSV. This got old pretty quick, as it distracted me from my actual assign…

Great API, excited to see this grow into a "entertainment" api with comics and music.
