Ask HN: Is It Wrong to Use My Personal Laptop for Work?

At the company I just started working at, the computer has a company profile as well as Sophos antivirus, which, from what I can see, filters all traffic. However, I have another MacBook, and there are no requirements to use a VPN. We use GitHub, which means I can work on my personal MacBook.

In my contract, I’m not obligated to use the company laptop, and I believe these software tools are just to comply with some ISO standards.

From what I’ve noticed, the IT team monitors app usage, so I could leave the IDE open all the time.

So my question is: would it be wrong to use my personal computer for development?
