A remote-connection frustration

Theo discusses an SSH problem he encountered while working. He traces the typing issue to the connection using Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet.

SSH is really useful and powerful, and I spend a lot of time using it. But as soon as my connection is not perfect, I run into all sorts of problems.

While trying to work in Claude Code, I was getting sticky keys as I typed. It turned out the connection was bound to Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet. The fact that I even had to care about that is absurd to me.
