This is a really well-constructed piece of marketing. Yes please, I do want to code like Yehuda Katz! Sure, I'll connect my entire web presence to your service to earn credit!
But is nobody else concerned about needing an internet connection to write code? It looks possible to sync a local repo with their boxes when connected, dropbox-style. But the use case they appear to be focusing on is their in-browser collaborative IDE, which is all kinds of problematic for me in cases like using my own bash settings, coding on airplanes, simulating my production environment, coding on life rafts on approach to a refugee flotilla in the Pacific ocean, and just plain hating latency.
Looks like a perfect for coding on a Chromebook or similarly handicapped machine. For the time being, though, I like my dev environments like I like my video games - offline.
- cpursley 13y agoFor those few precious moments that I'm not coding, I shouldn't be coding anyways. I've been using nitrous on a 4G Virgin mobile hotspot while I travel. It's a bit slower, but fine. Still easier than keeping my machine configured and the IDE is quite good.
