I'm doing a solo coding project for work. It's a tool that you interact with similar to npm or cargo, where you can create a new workspace, run / test etc. Importantly, you have to be in the working directory for the commands to work...

Yesterday I decided to go home early to do remote work at home. Before i left i quickly did git add ., committed and pushed. I turned on my computer this morning, ran git pull, and noticed that... only some files got pushed, but more importantly none of the code i wrote yesterday made it through. Yup, I was still cd'd into my workspace folder and not at the project root, so I only committed the mock workspace folder 😄

Luckily i didnt write or change much this time, but lesson learned: git add -A or git commit -am '...'

Can't you ssh into your work computer?

[–] atheken 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In my 20 year career, I’ve never had a single position where I could ssh into my work machine from a remote location.

I would say that if you have been able to do that, it’s exceptionally rare, and there are a number of security red flags of your organization is allowing that.

Work laptop + VPN should take care of most security stuff, no?

Being able to SSH remotely without VPN would be certain red flag.

[–] atheken 1 points 1 year ago

Even with VPN, remote connections are frequently partitioned from on-premises machines, either on purpose, or because the network is large enough to require different subnets.

Having VPN definitely makes it possible and far less risky, but it’s still not really a guarantee, and that could still indicate a more relaxed security posture.

No judgement, it’s just not typical in a lot of environments.
