Imagine a lab starts working in an air gapped network, and one of the 1000 problems that comes up is working-from-home.
If that problem comes up now (early), then we can say “okay, working from home is allowed”, and we’ll add that problem to the queue of things that we’ll prioritize and solve. We can also experiment with it: Maybe we can open another secure office closer to the employee’s house, would they like that? If so, we could discuss fancy ways to secure the communication between the offices. If not, we can try something else.
If that problem comes up when security is critical (if we wait), then the solution will be “no more working from home, period”. The security staff will be too overloaded with other problems to solve, not available to experiment with having another office nor to sign a deal with Cursor.
