By own laptop you mean that you bought it instead of the company providing it?

How does that arrangement work with your company? I'd never consider using my own equipment instead of the company's for work (in normal conditions, when all servers are down at 3am and you need to fix it, you use whatever is handy), but I've always assumed that employers would be equally reluctant to having their employees bring and use their own equipment to work.

I worked for a couple of startups in the past and both had all us devs use our own computers, it was a "given". I remember the tech lead in one of them lobbying with the founder to buy SSDs for the people who lacked one so we could work better :D

It's a wild wild world out there.

We used to use some development contractors in a bring-your-own-laptop type contract. Used an internet accessible GitLab, with emulators for all internal systems. I think it depends on the company, I think know some companies are more willing to give more flexibility especially when most of your systems might be cloud based, and then it is cheap and quicker to ramp up a new contractor.

Year ... I bought my own laptop to use at work..

Whole code of applications inside it..

There aren't any arrangement work related to this.. Just to using to solve problems of applications

It's a small company too.. Then there are no many problems with "employee catch the source code's applications" ... Confidence too counts..
