2023-09-19: Remote Development in VSCode - Worth the Hassle?
Source - https://code.visualstudio.com Visual Studio Code (VSCode) has a suite of extensions that lets you write and execute code on remote locations such as servers, containers, or virtual machines through your web browser or locally installed VSCode. In this post, I will explain why this may be a good option depending on your needs. Some advantages of remote development in VSCode are: It enables developers to write and execute code in a different environment (e.g., Linux, Windows, macOS) without having to install or configure them locally. It reduces the need to transfer files between machines, which can save time and bandwidth. VSCode preserves its settings, extensions, and features when working remotely – This provides a consistent development experience across local and remote environments. It allows developers to leverage remote computing resources (e.g., GPUs, CPUs, Nodes) for computationally heavy tasks like deep learning. Some disadvantages of remote development in VSCode are
