In writing a really ranty blog entry about my new chromebook over the
holiday (feel free to subject yourself here:
https://blog.cerowrt.org/post/carping_on_a_chromebook/ ) 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, 

Well, I'm a very ordinary work-from-home developer who simultaneously

• attends video conferences
• types short messages on slack
• runs git commit && git push, which triggers a real-time pipeline reporting to me
  
• runs goconvey, a robot that runs go test on every save. Only locally, though.
  
• compiles stuff
• runs the compiled program in a record-replay service that pulls docker images madly from work
  

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.

So you might not be that different (;-))
