With how common remote work is these days, I'm wondering if anyone has ever been able to obtain an offline seat and a company-supplied workstation to program from home? I'd imagine that a lot of trust and prestige would be needed to be able to do this.
We have the option to work from home, but I prefer to be where the action is.
All our programming is done offline and released to the production floor.
Proving programs out is optional to the programmer, although I prefer that. We do a lot of work on parts that aren't around, so most of the time we don't have a part in hand.
If you're good enough at online programming, the program can run the first time. Usually an operator would be asked to 'run it slow' and watch for any issues that may come up.
