I see this promulgated a lot by big corpos but little uptake or enthusiasm among actual developers, nor the companies that employ them.
For compliance with various anti-data-leak standards we currently use a very janky remote development setup at work. We're working on improving this situation while maintaining compliance. The thing I keep hearing from devs is "wouldn't it be nice if we could develop pn our Macs?"
I guess the bigcorps will have to deprecate and eventually stop development on local IDEs if they really want us to work this way, but I don't see that happening.
- mattlondon 3y agoThis supports VScode remote development, so your engineers can run VScode in their Mac's and access the remote. I have been doing VScode remote development for ages now and it is awesome. Even from a Chromebook

- reaperducer 3y agoIf they don't mind the telemetry. Well, it's Google Cloud Workstations. So you're already dancing with a devil. Might as well dance with two.
- femboy 3y agoHow does the data / telemetry Google collects on everyone compare with Google Cloud data collected on paying customers?
- NotEvil 3y agoNot necessarily, it's open protocol with vim plugin. Mainly just ssh and running commands. And a part of ide running on server and client
- fragmede 3y agoI mean if the telemetry means they know their shitty software crashes at this one point and then they fix that, I'm not sure I really mind.
- bitwize 3y agoWe already do VSCode remote development. We'd rather just hack on our Macs.
- tomjen3 3y agoVs code remote is fantastic. It’s as good as local development on vs code. Unfortunately vs code has way too many things missing compared to JetBrains.
- pjmlp 3y agoThis never stop being a standard practice in big corps. There was a short time between the transition of UNIX into Linux, and Citrix was growing up, that we actually used local development in consulting projects, coupled with RSA keys for access. Around 2010, it was back into thin clients connecting to development VMs on Amazon EC2 instances.
