Cloud coding question
| what do you work?
| maybe use evernote/google drive?
| Yeah I'd say just use Google drive, or mega/nextcloud or something
| If OP uses different computers in different locations where potentially is unable to install software as needed, some kind of remote connection or remote desktop might be needed. Google drive! Pfft!
I have used very comfortably ssh remote connections in the past OP. But it was for shell scripting and a gui/ide was not required.
For gui stuff I have tried vnc and ssh with X forwarding. If connection speeds are decent they can be ok. You arrange for an always acessible system...
| ... where you remote connect to and do all your stuff there.
| just rdp/ssh to your workstation back home

Yes, that would be the ideal solution. It is important then for the home router to be reachable from the outside world, and to be able to configure it to suit traffic redirection (dNAT) towards the required internal workstation. This is not always possible, either because the isp does not make the home router reachable, or you can not alter its centrally managed configuration, or both.
Also, home upload bandwidth is crucial. Vital.
| vim and ssh is all you need
| >>176752 in windows land google had a remote client that sidestepped the issues of networking as it utilized their own agent. It ran pretty damn well with about 5mb up iirc. At the very least being a google product they had a nstive android based client as well to remote in to your box

You are assuming OP is under *nix and also unclear where would these remote connections are pointing at.
| Cloud coding?
More like Kloud Koding amirite lads?

Well it's just so hard to imagine that people code unironically under windos. It is usually such a pain to watch it, that I often forget about it. But I heard that win10 finally gets a ubuntu, especially bash integration. How far is the progress?
| >>179087 I feel the same. A few people I know who with android app creation all use androidstudio for windows. Whatever does it for them though.
As of ubuntu for windows, I really wonder how useful that really is. Performance is higher if you simply have a vm installation (hw virt instructions vs. win10 integrating it with a compatibility layer). Security is also better, whatever vulnerability linux has will not spill over the host os an this is also the case from host....
| ... to guest vm in most cases. With a compatibility layer you just join both sets of vulnerabilities now and the shit of one platform is suddenly effective at the other too.
There is no technical benefit from something like this. It probably is a move from Microsoft that has to do with Azurre Cloud, a showcase to show they are linux friendly. The server market is de facto owned by linux and now it is important to catter to users with this "you dont have to abandon windows" message
| >>179087 yes it's not like .net developers exist programming in windows for a living unironically. Get off your os high horse.
| >>179671
I currently don't know any useful program that's written in .Net. I just read a lot about performance and security issues of .Net and that micro$oft turned into an open source thingy to make it more attractive to skilled developers outside the windows world.
And why should I get off a horse, that brought me far just to understand why some people prefer to kneel to a company that only achievement is becoming a monopoly by lobbying, licensing and marketing?

| I just started coding in Java for android development, but I move around a lot during the day for work. I have lots of time to code during work but I have to use different computers all the time and I cant just bring a laptop with me. Any advice or a cloud coding platform that can help me develope android apps on the go from a browser or something?
