pros of having a seamless ssh + sshfs + waypipe + syncthing + gitautofetch + etc etc setup: you literally cannot even tell if you're working on a remote computer. everything feels like it is the same, big machine. like a thousand connected gears, perfectly in sync
cons: spent 15min debugging why on earth LDAP wasn't working because i was connected to my work VPN on my client instead of the server
honestly doing software engineering for work has one huge upside over doing it as a hobby: if you fuck up, you get paid for doing work, and you wasted free time if you're doing it as a hobby. if i have a huge fuckup in my personal projects that kinda sucks, but when it takes me 15 minutes to realize that my VPN is off i can calculate exactly how much money i made from being a dumbass lol
