Development on an internal fork of VS code (web page) which sets up all the build tooling for you to use your cloud top as your build eng. Includes ML based completion as well which is nice.

So if you have used VS code I’d imagine the accessibility is similar as audio is rendered locally?

I used to consult, and got at one point hired to explain to higher management, at a small but important "regulatory" government department, why 256kbps ADSL sucked for rdesktop (which was on a private ATM channel from the incumbent telco, very expensive, and also very bad, it was still ADSL over an ATM backbone, in 2005, supposedly it was more secure ...). Note 256kbps = 32 KB/sec. I'm not sure how much they paid, but the page describing the product at the telco said to call to make an appointment for sales to visit you to get some pricing info. Oh, and the backend connection for this had to be done in duplicate, with endpoints in 2 different countries. I'm pretty sure just the backend connections cost a decent house a month at minimum.

Needless to say, over 32 KB/sec, rdesktop is pretty much unusable. Not that said incumbent telco actually delivered 32 KB/sec, merely because they paid through the nose.

So I wrote a 40 page document, written in 12 days, for a just-barely-not-6-figure-bill. They had an excellent restaurant. Steak for 4 euro, and every week a different theme. Even the spaghetti bolognaise was excellent. Didn't do anything for the rest of 2 months, going in several times with my access badge just for the restaurant (to "discuss followup"). This went very slowly because of the top 3 levels of management, who had to approve everything, 2 were government appointed positions. These people never even came in because their performance and future at the company was only tied to their party's performance in elections, which had absolutely nothing to do with what this department was regulating.

Google can probably provide incredible remote desktops. Small companies can't, due to cost (not of the connection, hardware cost. Remote desktops, to be good, need to be machines running large VMs. That means modern i9s with 64G of ram MINIMUM). I'm not sure what Google uses, but ... Large companies and government can't, due to "best practices" preventing timely upgrades. This happens because they require everything be explained, risk-assessed, verified by external consultants, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.
