Why I Ditched Local Development for VSCode with SSH and You Should Too

You're probably using VSCode wrong.

Have you ever wondered if you could do development in VSCode while connected to a much more powerful computer somewhere in the cloud?

And without having to actually use some ancient software to remote into it to use GUI?

Well, now you can connect to it using VSCode directly and do all the development as if it was on your local laptop/desktop.

No more spinning fans making noises.

No more unresponsive apps on your local laptop.

No more having to remember how to use SCP command to copy files.

And much more!

In this video though I will only be showing how to connect VSCode using SSH to a remote server with an example of an EC2 Instance (which is really just a virtual machine in one of the AWS' data centers).
