.. develop remotely? I can, if I wish. I have an extremely high bandwidth link to servers. But there's still latency, and that makes all the difference. So in practice I always develop locally. I use Git and VNC and sshfs-mounted filesystems to access the remote, but my tools and editors are always local. I can build remotely, but not work remotely. And I still like to build locally all the same, during the actual development.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoI find it hilarious that this is the developer attitude for their own work, but then they turn around and expect users to just suck it up and accept latency because cloud!
- Tor3 8y agoIt's a difference in using a text editor remotely, compared to doing just about anything else remotely. I can log in and build remotely, and execute remotely, use remote git servers, even run GUIs remotely (testing my application through a VNC). But using a text editor remotely, with a few hundred millisecs rtt.. now, that is very different.
