Imagine you are in a cave, for no apparent reason, and your computer is no where to be found. The only computer there is a n old school terminal that is somehow running IE11. Your colleague commits something with tabs instead of spaces and you get the notification on your phone. Now you can easily login to VSCode online to re-indent everything with spaces, commit and push it back up, all through your web browser.

- ryuukk_ 7y agoor: you want a machine that has X cpu, X ram, and you quickly want to setup a dev environement, be it for test purposes, online collaboration, teaching etc.. now you can i don't think "owning a workstation" is gonna be a thing in the future, power increase everyday just like Stadia, these kind of stuff is what will enable people to use POWERFULL workstations without having to own super expensive machines, or having to constantly buy an upgrade only visionary people can trully understand the potential of such service, it is the future, you better get ready and buy some stocks
