I prefer the remote setup because my dev machines are nearly identical to the production machines in every aspect. I can have a fresh new machine online in minutes, so can the rest of my team, or a new hire. All our code runs close to the data. My dev instance is significantly more powerful than my laptop. I switch between a desktop and laptop across a given day but my dev box doesn’t change. I’m not sold on the “in a browser” setup that this post is selling, I still run VSCode natively and also use it for my terminal shell.
