Since the days of Apache/PHP I don't think people (need to) host their dev work on proper servers at their local computers. So this argument is kind of invalid unless you want to set-up your dev machine as some kind of dummy server.

So this argument is kind of invalid unless you want to set-up your dev machine as some kind of dummy server. True, and false I do host the cloud software I work on on a local machine (running Debian-12) because it is easy. I do not need to, I want to and it makes me more productive I also spend a lot of time in a terminal on a remote machine. I have to be careful to not get the two confused (I use different background colours for terminals on different machines.) I have done the "remote terminal on cloud software" on Windows - a difficult and painful experience. Tools I take for granted, and get gratis, on Linux are not there on the Windows servers. What ever flaws the article has it is not out of date
- ehnto 2y agoThis has been my observation, I think people will get caught up in the details but most dev workflows I see now are either containerised (docker etc) or serve themselves (rails, node, even PHP can serve itself with no webserver) I see less developers setting up local servers and managing them for development purposes. Containers are not the same thing, for the purposes of this commentary on how people work now.
