Depends on what you're developing.

And what if you are developing something that interacts with the Internet?

Both, but more comfortable doing backend development

Oops. I worded poorly. What I wanted to ask was what type of dev work.

I think in the case of large scale, high-availability systems it goes a bit beyond development. I'd consider development writing the code.

Whichever one you (or your developers) are most proficient in.

Sometimes. But, in my experience a lot of these advanced development environments can be quite hang-ey if you know what I mean. It’s quite lightweight relatively speaking so more than makes up for it.

What is your development environment like?

What is your development environment?

pjmlp | karma 109153 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2016-06-20 13:20:51+00:00

Assuming you are allowed control over the development environment, which isn't possible in many companies.

pjmlp | karma 109153 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2014-11-03 23:20:28+00:00

Ah ok! I agree that there are those type of developers as well.

Me, I tend to focus on the JVM/.NET/C++ ecosystems at work, and depending on the project types, I do a mix roles of architecture/development.

What does development mean to you? Working on stuff that lives in the cloud? I think you may be taking a very limited view of what people need from their work machines.

So this is only relevant for personal developer environments?

draven | karma 1011 | avg karma 3.09 · | 2023-04-18 02:40:45

But then the typical industry dev works with Java or C# (both VM-based) or maybe Python or PHP (interpreters.)

rc_mob | karma 392 | avg karma 1.47 · | 2023-07-16 12:30:14

yes. i do have a few developer environments this would be great for though.

Nelkins | karma 1459 | avg karma 3.1 · | 2018-10-10 11:20:55

What do you use as your development environment?

pjmlp | karma 109153 | avg karma 1.76 · | 2014-09-06 14:11:32+00:00

Depends if the question is targeted to startups using the JVM or the classical bureaucratic enterprise.

maxxxxx | karma 29489 | avg karma 3.55 · | 2017-10-15 18:55:39+00:00

I call myself a developer but I often work on stuff where at the start we don't know whether it will be desktop, web, mobile or whatever. We don't know which database will be best so we try a few. I guess it's research but it feeds straight into development which is done by the same people within the same project.

tyingq | karma 59102 | avg karma 3.47 · | 2019-12-01 08:53:55

Perhaps in a non-dev, office worker environment.

eatonphil | karma 21581 | avg karma 5.52 · | 2023-05-15 17:04:24

If you interact with a network, it's relevant for you. :) Which is almost every type of developer.
