I prefer the ability to run and debug locally coupled with a good IDE. I know VSCode is popular, people customize the shit out of Vim, but IntelliJ just works for me when I'm writing Java, Kotlin or Typescript/React. Refactor and debug is not comparable. And I know most think its hard on resources, but we have 200k lines of code yet and it works with 16GB M1 Air very well leaving more than enough spare resources for the system.
What? Doesn't even make sense. Why would lacking a physical desktop cause developers to make bad software?
Many developers in now and before like to have their own desk/space it helps them think. Getting ride of that space or changing may not be optimal for many developers I've worked with.
Lol desktop meaning a physical computer. Engineers still have desks with tops. If anything they have more space than ever since the offices are so empty.
Not sure this follows. Their designs might be bad(?), but certainly for any UI driven applications, they do do use the native and emulated devices.
What OP means is that you ssh into a cloud machine for development.
