Oh, I have.

My setup is now Remote VS Code to a Linux NUC that sits on my desk. All code lives on the NUC and all tests run on the NUC, but I can use my MacBook Pro as I move around the house, work outside, etc.

It's pretty seamless, I'm impressed.

Oh what… by "Remote VS Code" are you referring to this? https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview Seems very handy indeed!

Yeah, the VSCode UI runs on my Mac, but it runs a vscode remote server on my NUC. Debugger, tests, etc. all run on my remote machine.

I originally did this in a Linux VM, but got tired of the battery hit that running a VM 24/7 has.

Neato, that's pretty awesome! Can keep your main machine freed up to deal with actual editing and other usage, while the remote server does all the "heavy lifting". Thanks for the info!

I have had a similar setup with a remote server and a MacBook Air. If internet on trains were a bit more stable it would have been the perfect setup.

Thank you for commenting about this! I've been looking for a good solution to this exact kind of thing.
