Ask HN: What tools do you use to program on remote machines?

3 pointsmahostahc1 comment

Basically at the moment I ssh into the machine and use tmux and nano to run things and edit code. Everytime something goes down/wrong, I ssh into it again and then fix it. I was wondering if there are better ways to do all this?

I use Vim. With Vim 8+, theres a terminal command, :term, that works well. You may have to build from source because most package managers have older versions of Vim.

I use `mosh`, https://mosh.org, for keeping connections alive.

The combination of the two makes working on remote machines a breeze.
