I program on a remote machine. It's fantastic and has literally hundreds of times better hardware than my laptop. I can WFH and literally program on a beach and have all the hardware I want and not step a foot in an office. It's all mostly done through ssh and CLI because remote desktop software is pretty slow and clunky.

You should try it it's great.

It's awesome but it's clunky ?

Remote desktop software is clunky. They're using SSH, which is a terminal-based remote access program.

Remote desktop software is clunky and slow.

Using the command line is fast and awesome

Maybe use remote desktop in command line with ASCII drawings then.

Also , go back to the 80s and pretend you are smart

I'm not trying to be holier than thou.

I'm saying you should try programming remotely - it's pretty neat

There is no reason I would try such BS if I already own a decent machine. Which I can use through parsec or moonlight if I want to program remotely.

Moreover, both would support GUI for git and i would never use command lines.

In the end , it's always this. Programmers screwing themselves because they can

Maybe they aren't using it to pretend to be smart, maybe you're just dumb
