RÉSUMÉ

En 30 secondes

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.

À retenir

  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.
  3. He is frustrated that remote work requires attention to connection details.

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.
