A developer details their experience using a cloud-based setup for web development, contrasting their persistent virtual private server (VPS) approach with a more ephemeral cloud-agent model. While the VPS approach allows for stateful development with local data and continuous processes, it introduces complexities like synchronization issues and the risk of data loss. The developer found that a hybrid approach, where the Mac retains some local development tools and checkouts, proved more practical than a strictly cloud-only setup. AI
IMPACT Explores practical implications of using AI coding assistants in a persistent cloud development environment.
