Coder is an open-source, remote-first software company. Our CDE moves development from local machines to cloud infrastructure, reducing onboarding time while speeding up builds, tests, and workspace configuration for individuals and large dev teams. The developers that we support work at companies like Discord, Netflix, Dropbox, and Palantir.

Following a successful Series B2 raise in June, we're hiring for multiple roles on our R&D team!

-OSS Engineer (Remote)

Hosted vs code server is what I used to use: https://github.com/coder/code-server

They've added support in blink as well which is my favorite iOS purchase for productivity on my iPad https://blink.sh/

I use remote development environment on my VPS using code-server ( https://github.com/coder/code-server ). It is quite easy to setup.

The plugin is now available in the Visual Studio Code Store and Open VSX Registry, and you can theoretically use it in Microsoft Visual Studio Code, code-server, VSCodium, and other vscode series IDEs, linked below:

We keep developers in flow. Coder has created a devtool that offloads development from local workstations to your on-prem and public cloud infrastructure. Target customer is engineering orgs at some of the world’s largest and cutting-edge companies. Our tech stack is TypeScript, React, Golang, Terraform, Linux.

Disclaimer: The whole process happens locally in the tablet, therefore all the programs are executed inside the tablet. I saw some other tutorials where people use code-server and besides the coding experience might look the same, running the full OS offers more capabilities.

Code-server is an open-source tool that allows you to run VSCode, a popular integrated development environment (IDE), on a remote server through the browser. This setup essentially turns VSCode into a cloud-based IDE, providing flexibility and accessibility advantages.

You can look at this fork: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium and see how they did it.

Vscodium for me

binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing

https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium

> Visual studio is open source

Sort of. The core is, and the installable binaries with telemetry and properietary extensions are not.

The open source, telemetry-free version of VSCode is called VSCodium: https://vscodium.com/

> Didn't cusor fork it and is building it features directly into the fork?

Yes, in their recent interview with Lex Fridman they argued that life as an extension is too limiting.

The main reason we criticise Microsoft for doing this and not them is just their size and market dominance.

Why jump through hoops to make competitors better able to hotwire their own AI into VSCode, or hotwire Copilot into their own IDE, when it's easier to iterate fast and remain unpredictable?

> If you enjoy a rabbithole, look at how much DRM there is in Pylance (another extension that MS has locked down): https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/discussions/1641

The funny thing is that I’ll never understand why it’s not open source and why its license prohibits its use in VSCodium. Pylance is good, but not that good. Certainly not on a level of PyCharm. What incentive do they have to keep it secret except being evil?

If you're gonna go with a VS code extension and you're aiming for privacy, then I would at least recommend using the open source fork VS Codium.

Go to the VSCodium website.

This looks great, combining the best of VSCode and RStudio.

I prefer coding in VSCode but prefer data exploration in RStudio.

The only issue with this is the lack of copilot. Copilot can be installed on VSCodium [1] but it breaks often.
