Where I work it the software doesn’t interfere with development tools but still, I don’t like the idea of it. Luckily they only have such monitoring software for Mac OS and Windows, so the solution is to use Linux (for now). If your company allows you to use any OS then I would recommend switching away from Mac OS/Windows... I guess there are trade-offs though, most Linux distros are not as polished as Mac OS, for instance.

As a dev I spend most of my time in terminal, documents etc in browser, so my workflows are basically traditional-OS free.

This is unfortunately not true anymore. Both Tanium and crowdstrike run on Linux for example.

The Linux version of Crowdstrike is severely gimped compared to the Windows one though. No way you could reconstruct somebody's activity with the same detail you could from a Windows session.
