I think the point is that a small random drop in latency affects the local connection, but not the remote server. So, if your SSH connection is a little flakey for a minute, that’s fine. The remote server is itself stable. It is also likely connected to a much bigger pipe, so pulling in a remote container is much faster than if you were doing the same thing from your laptop in the park.
If you’re worried about your SSH connection being stable, mosh is another option.
- JoeQuery 5y agoExactly this. I used a combination of mosh, byobu, gnu screen, and vim. These days I use vscodes remote development setup more often.
- tpoacher 5y agoMosh sounds interesting! Thanks for mentioning!

- soheil 5y agoIf latency is high/nondeterministic every time you hit refresh in your browser to see your dev changes the delay gets compounded, productivity suffers and frustration intensifies.
