Thank you. I don’t know why more posts like this don’t spend a line or two providing that context

So, here's the first three sentences in the linked article:

I recently changed jobs and found myself in a position where I would need to do a lot of work on remote machines. Since I am Emacs user, the most common way to do this is using TRAMP (Transparent Remote access, Multiple Protcol). TRAMP is an Emacs package that let’s you treat a remote host like a local system, similar to VSCode Remote Development Extension.

Doesn't that provide context?

To be fair, I added that after reading the parent comment. I did a poor job of describing what TRAMP was because I targeting this towards Emacs users.

Ah! That explains my confusion. Thanks for clarifying, and my apologies to sylens.

Great post, by the way!

Because the author had no particular expectation this would be a #1 hit on HN.
