Good question. I misread the op the first time. So yeah whats the advantage of stuffing more on the thin client. Unless he is also using the thin client to run stuff he cant run remotely.
Tldr: Put up and shut up

Oh dear! Can you BYO laptop?

Yes and i dont use Arabic numerals. Whats it in Roman?
Even better is to talk to users. They may get raged by different things to me to you.
Quick poll: who prefers laziness by default. Who prefers strictness by default?
Im for doing data analysis at least on the code bases I work on but alas would have to do that in my own time.
Why is it bad if people leave tech mid career? I cant imagine cranking out the hiroglythics myself for too much longer. Especially as non managerial it is low status.

How does it compare with an actor model?
