Or even if they are connected, you could endlessly block them from getting
to what they need anyway:

This sounds like a decision upper management would make with no idea how
developers work. It is a great idea if you need to make some layoffs and
want developers to quit.

Team,



I have heard of suggestions that internet connectivity should be prevented
from developer machines in case a security issue causes a leak of source
code or similar.



I know some defence companies have two computers on the desktop to prevent
this from happening.



Outside of defence, what are peoples experiences?  Give developers internet
connectivity?  Have two machines?  Maybe give them a remote desktop
connection from internet.   How many developers in your company that have
internet connectivity?



Thanks in advance
