To say I’m annoyed would be very much overstating it, just a (very minor) eye-roll at one small line in a generally very good article. Just the bit quoted:
currency symbols other than the $ (kind of tells you who invented computers, doesn’t it?)
So they could also be attributing it to some other country that uses for their currency, which is a few, but it seems most likely to be suggesting USD.
Don’t even need to remote in to anything, just store your working code on a network share
