Mighty is shutting down after 3.5 years

If you are at home, your box is in the data center, then a BeyondCorp outage makes it impossible to work, right?

I agree that laptops can’t always do everything, but many things can be done comfortably well. At a previous job, I had 32 GB of physical RAM and 20 GB of swap (thanks to 5-10 RAM-hungry JVM apps), and things were quite usable for standard dev workflows.

Yes. So does a VPN outage if you're using that instead. If your laptop gets chewed up by a lawnmower, it's also impossible to work.

I can get things done with a VPN, $CloudCodeHosting, or network outage. Sure, not everything would be possible, but I can still write code and run it.

Err, sort of. Beyond Corp isn't really one single service that can be running or down, it's more of an approach, a bunch of different pieces, etc. I haven't seen an outage yet, but I don't think it would look like "the VPN is down", probably more like "this web app thinks I'm logged out".

I do recommend reading the BeyondCorp paper, although it's been a long time since I read it.
