alt Hacker NewsIt is well known that the readers of this forum are not limited to start ups. There are plenty of people that work for well established companies. Also, it is never a bad idea to remind people to keep personal/work data separate by never using employer provided equipment for personal use of any sort. See, I just did it again.
Also, just because this is a "start up forum" does not mean all of the readers are founders running a start up. Many are just people working at a start up. Sounds like yet another example of someone so scoped in, that the assumption is that everyone is the same losing site that there are lots of readers that at the end of the day are just worker bees even if they are more technically minded
My point is precisely that the parent commenter assumed things about my situation - something outside the original audience of the forum - to justify making a condescending comment. It is uncalled for to assume that someone here is a junior engineer who needs to be lectured on basic security policy, rather than someone doing their best to balance tradeoffs given their situation.
