For those who don't have access to high-speed internet (<5mbps up/down) - how has this impacted your work?
With modern package managers (npm, pip, etc), docker images, etc - it can take significant time to download dependencies. I currently have a fiber internet connection (>300mbps), but there's a chance I'll move to a rural area with slow internet (<5-7mbps).
For reference, i use docker/ruby/go/js professionally so that requires frequent downloads, updates to packages. Everything is of course collaborated on via git.
TLDR;
- How do you manage the constant upload/download of software development with slow internet?
- Do you have any tips/tricks for managing dependencies with slow internet?
- Do you ever manage days at a time without internet access?
Thanks all!
