         | Another option to get a Codespaces experience is to self host
         | code-server. Then you can access it through a browser just like
         | Codespaces. It's more flexible too since it's your own machine.

       | I've been enjoying Codespaces. It's really slick. My Macbook Air
       | was having trouble running all of the development tools I wanted
       | use. Moving everything to the cloud - including Postgres, Redis,
       | backend dev server, linting, and frontend Nuxt server - means my
       | battery life has improved and I could even be developing on a
       | $200 chromebook.

       | I know I'm missing out on the ability to develop code while
       | offline - e.g., on an airplane. But, in my experience - modern
       | code increasingly relies on webhooks and APIs for basic
       | functions. So, I think most web app code can't be expected to be
       | run in an "offline" mode once it reaches sufficient maturity.
