PhD researcher for cybersec/ml. So yes... ish. Not doing commits/builds every day.
It's actually fine for that. I have 24 hour access to my uni building so I just go in when no-one else is around to write my code.
I print off research papers to read them at home/coffee shops. I prefer reading from paper anyway.
Got my phone if I really need to read something. But limited data allowance, so have to ration it...
