I don't want to immediately jump off-topic, but the last agency I was contracted at used Digital Ocean for "local dev". There's a Visual Studio Code extension that uses an SSH connection to let you edit remote files in your local instance of VSC.

The only downside, obviously, is you *must* always have an internet connection; and there's some $ overhead (but to me that's can be offset by not needing a lot of hardware on your desktop). Once you get used to it, you'll barely notice the difference.

Once the contract ended, I went back to working with my traditional local set up. I'm not happy about that. It's a 2024 resolution to get back to using DO.
