What is remote development?

Remote development means your code, terminals and tools run on one machine while you work from another. The remote machine does the heavy lifting: builds, tests, coding agents. The device in front of you is just the window.

Why people do it

  • One powerful machine, many devices. Keep your work on a Mac mini or desktop and reach it from a light laptop or a phone.
  • Always-on agents. Coding agents keep working on the remote machine after you close your laptop.
  • Same environment everywhere. No syncing projects between machines.
