I do research on speech recognition and machine learning, i.e. I run lots of TF code, on lots of big data, and it runs for a long time (days, weeks). All the data, user files, everything in our lab is accessible via NFS, and every node in the cluster has the same FS. From the outside, I only have SSH access.

I want to work on code which runs there in the cluster.

I could have a local Git checkout of the code (partly). But sometimes it's a lot of trial and error, and it would be quite annoying to keep extra care that my local Git checkout gets synchronized with the copy in the cluster. Sometimes it might also have other files as dependencies which are simply only there in the cluster - or it would be extremely complicated to replicated all the same locally, and keep it all in sync. Even if PyCharm could help on the syncing part, it would still not be perfect, and would be annoying.

VS Code Remote SSH is basically perfect and exactly like I want it. The only problem is that I still prefer PyCharm.
