This is just a personal preference, but I like to do all of my development work remotely. I use visual studio code and just have ssh connections set up. When I open a project, the terminal auto connects to my dev server. I can open and edit any file, push to git, deploy, and not need anything on my local machine. It keeps the need for resource usage low, and all of your code is in one place so you can switch machines easily. Throw a sim card in the laptop and you can literally just open it up and program from anywhere without a hassle.
