Well, it’s what I use with Neovim, but not everyone uses a terminal-based editor. But other users had some other suggestions too: lemmy.comfysnug.space/comment/620209

I do think it solves an interesting problem where you’re working on your desktop and decide to move to your laptop and continue working on the same codebase, but don’t want to commit early so you can pull down the changes to your laptop.
This has been a solved problem for decades. SSH.

Fortunately for me, VSCode has support for running the backend remoy via SSH.

Ever since I’ve discovered Parsec (or any other remote desktop streaming solution that isn’t TeamViewer), I’ve switched from having to drag around a heavy laptop that still can barely run Unreal to just having a Surface, remotely WoL my desktop at home through a pooling solution that does not require any public facing service (my NAS is just pooling a website API for a trigger. Not efficient, but secure), and just connecting through Parsec.
RDP could also work I’d wager, but then I’d have to set up a VPN and I’m not really that comfortable with anything public facing. But if anyone asks me now for good laptop recommendations, I always recommend going the “better desktop for the same price, and small laptop for remote”.
I’ve yet to find a place where I couldn’t work comfortably through Parsec, it being optimized for gaming means the experience is pretty smooth, and it works pretty well even at lower network speeds. You still need at least 5-10Mbps, but if you have unlimited mobile data you’re good to go almost anywhere.

Thanks for sharing about Parsec, it looks interesting. How is the speed? They talk about it being fast but is it?
Mikina@programming.dev 1 year ago
I’ve never had any issues, it’s pretty well optimized and it’s miles ahead of TeamViewer. So, in my experience, it is pretty fast - if your net can handle it. And if you have lower bandwidth then it’s pretty good at optimizing for speed instead of quality, if that’s what you want.

Turns out it won’t share a Linux machine.

What’s bad about committing early? Do people not know about --amend?
Spectacle8011@lemmy.comfysnug.space 1 year ago
It’s not so much committing early, but pushing early. You don’t want to be push early, then rebase your commits, and then force-push to a repository other developers are using too.
But as I’ve learned from all of the responses in this thread, there are many ways of avoiding this 🙂

There is no such thing as committing early.
