Ask HN: How are you building work from home dev environments?
4 by psxuaw | 4 comments on Hacker News.
As a developer, how are you working remotely? This is a new scenario for lots of people, and I think people are struggling to create good development environments using their home computers. Started accessing office network via VPN and using my work machine with VNC. But, latency is a bit high for typing and its not productive. Next, tried using Visual Studio Code in my home machine, and Remote SSH Extension for loading source code and development tools (linting, compilers, interpreters, etc) on my work machine. This made things a bit easier, but latency for saving files and waiting for VSCode Git Extension scan changes is a bit high, bothering me. Made a separate Firefox profile too, syncing with my work machine, and it's great. I am not keen of copying company source code on my home computer, and starting mixing personal and work files. I like to compartmentalize things. How do you do? Separate VM? Separate Linux user? systemd nspawn container? Separate OS installation? Separate computer? How do you avoid mixing things and making a mess? PS - Don't have company issued laptop - very small company PS - Running exclusively on Linux PS - Databases (production/development) and data stays at company network
