Theo Browne says he uses SSH extensively and finds it powerful, but describes problems when a connection is imperfect. In one case, a session using Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet caused typing to feel sticky.

  1. 1Useful but frustratingTheo says he spends a lot of time using SSH, even though he finds aspects of it frustrating.
  2. 2Connection quality mattersHe reports problems when his connection is not perfect.
  3. 3Wi-Fi instead of EthernetA session was using Wi-Fi rather than Ethernet, which he connects to sticky typing during his work.

Conclusiones

  1. Theo finds SSH useful and powerful despite its drawbacks.
  2. He experienced sticky typing while working over a connection that was using Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet.

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.
