If I can't get a machine for local development I wouldn't care personally. I like the idea of many many threads as I work a lot with data, but i need something like a PC to try things on.

Also, don't really like vendor lock-in.

I'm doing some development on AWS currently on g4dn instance with T4 accelerator. With pings lower than 50ms and remote VS Code it gets really efficient. The biggest issue of course is additional mental burden on being remote + you can't simply print image in ssh console...

I thought it would be horrible, but after a brief adjustment period it turned out to be okay-ish for my current work.

But you can view images in terminal emulator. Not every one, but kitty, alacritty, st, iTerm2 for MacOS, etc. should support it. This works for me (need to install ueberzug, e.g. via pip):

    { declare -p c=([action]=add [identifier]=0 [x]=0 [y]=0 [width]=80 [height]=80 [path]="mypic.png") ; sleep 5;} | ueberzug layer --parser bash

In 2004 I was using telnet/X Windows into the UNIX development server of the company, in 2020 I use ssh/Web/RDP for the cloud environment instead.
