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 machine. They had over a week now since I accepted the offer

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 don't take it well.

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 funded SF based startup.

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 setup. And that was in 2018, I was desperate for work at the tim

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 personal equipment ever touches company IP.

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 machines. I don't oversell myself in interviews,

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 the street and pick up a MacBook.

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 hell, add in maintenance and the money is worth it.

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