Tried out VS Code remote development, and it totally blew my mind. The feeling of building/testing intensive stuff and not having any experience degradation of other applications running locally is really awesome! It is pretty easy to setup and works amazingly! 💯 Wrote some thoughts about it here ⬇️ https://twitter.com/Pothulapati/status/1277264703648002048

Yeah, heard about this! I don't think writing code in the browser is a great experience 😛 Some of my colleagues tried code-server out and mentioned similar opinions with their ipads. They could not continue with it. Hence my reference of having a native vs code app, with better UX. Also, I think it also has to do with ipadOS not having enough flexibility/UX of that of a work device. I hope things get improved 🤞

Need to try this. Thanks for sharing 👍

The 'WSL + VSCode remote extensions' combo is a game changer. Soon you can add codespaces to that mix (their in-browser vscode experience is fantastic).

Yep, WSL 2 is awesome. I recently had to spin up a Windows Pro VM for work and tried out WSL2 then and it was very fast to install, and try. It was up and working under 5 mins. 💯 But Windows works awesomely on a VM and once you start to use it as a daily driver, It degrades pretty fast. At-least thats my opinion when I was using it from 2 years ago, hope things changed.

I have been doing this for last one year. Very convenient on underpowered laptops.
