<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">In writing a really ranty blog entry about my new chromebook over the
holiday (feel free to subject yourself here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/carping_on_a_chromebook/">https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/carping_on_a_chromebook/</a> ) I realized
how different my workloads were than most, and why latency under load
matters so much to me(!) -
I regularly use ssh from the front of my boat to aft, suffer from
running out of LTE bandwidth, use X to remotely screen share, do big
backups, git pulls and pushes, live 24/7 in 15+ mosh terminal tabs to
machines all over the world, play interactive network games, and do
massive compiles of huge source code bases.
I realized, today, after venting my spleen in that blog, that it was
highly unlikely that the vast majority of people out there used their
networks as I do, </pre>

<p>Well, I'm a very ordinary work-from-home developer who
simultaneously</p>
<ul>
<li>attends video conferences</li>
<li>types short messages on slack</li>
<li>runs git commit && git push, which triggers a
real-time pipeline reporting to me<br>
</li>
<li>runs goconvey, a robot that runs go test on every save. Only
locally, though.<br>
</li>
<li>compiles stuff</li>
<li>runs the compiled program in a record-replay service that
pulls docker images madly from work<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Most people I work with at some time end up cursing at the
videoconference service, as doing anything else during a
conference causes hangs and dropouts.</p>
<p>So you might not be <i>that</i> different (;-))<br>
