It sounds like this use case is for developer's who buy laptops expecting them to act like desktops and then realize their mistake.
Maybe the cheaper, simpler, option is just to buy a performant desktop for less $$$ than has wall current and the space for RAM and heat dissipation.
- secondcoming 5y agoI forked out a silly amount of money on a laptop last year as I assumed I'd be working abroad for a while. I knew developing on a laptop would suck and I was proven right. I don't know why some people prefer it. (The M1s may change that today)
- herval 5y agoYou’ll still have a different network (this is big at Facebook, where downloading repos from home takes a ridiculous amount of time), and you’re still locked down to a single machine’s resources, when working on your PC. This remote-first architecture also enables you to further break apart your workflow as needed. Need a dozen GPUs to test something real quick? Spin it up! Need to collaborate with someone on a PR? Invite them to your session (eg with vscode liveshare). Work on 10 branches in parallel (eg during code reviews)? Lease more instances!
