I'm currently working on a huge codebase that takes forever to compile. I'd love to use Codespaces or a self hosted alternative so that I don't need to carry around a heavy i7 laptop. Being able to develop in the cloud from a browser opens up the possibility to develop from a thin Chromebook.

Isn't this option already available with CI/CD or Vim?

  You can also use VS Code on a remote VM directory. Our devs do this.

    I'm doing that as well. Works fairly well. (Much better than eg PyCharm's attempt at remote development.)

You can do this right now with the Remote SSH extension for VS Code: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...

  I use this for developing on linux/pi/jetsons, (need to test linking against real libs, and cross compiling for some reason still isnt a thing), but the compile times are terrible... I wish this was even more modular so we could have a dumb compile farm, +local ide +run&debug on-device (I've recently got 90% closer by remote sshing with vs code to a pi vm)

    I suspect you could hack it together with something like distcc, with VSCode none the wiser.
