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!
