San Jose.
As a development machine.
I frequently use Codespaces lately but I’ve had issues with setting up Docker well in it so I’ve been looking at alternatives. Before Codespaces I used AWS. AWS is cheaper and better CPUs, but it is very inconvenient to stop and start VMs frequently. I’ve been experimenting with Fly because it is much more convenient to use and I was able to get my env setup real fast.
One of the projects I build is a C++ app and it takes about 11 mins to build on an 8 core Fly instance, but only 3 mins on a 16 core Codespace.
I’m really just exploring options at the moment.
