Doesn't full disk encryption solve that as well as putting it in the cloud (and you'd need encryption anyway)

Not necessarily lost to a 3rd party. Just if somebody was working on fixing a blocker and doesn’t push progress before going home and then losing the laptop on the train or something.

The real scenario would be “we need to finish this blocker that Jim is working on, but he is sick and hasn’t pushed progress to git.”

As to syncing with cloud. Why not just have it on cloud and let people ssh into the server. And then do one better better, and give them a full IDE instead of teaching them emacs or vim.
