Nothing too exciting. I do all my coding in vim so I just rented a Digital ocean server and ssh into it to do my work. Looks the same as when I was developing locally with the benefit that when I roll up a dev server I can show it to other people more easily and if my laptop dies I can just grab another machine and have access to my dev environment. The DO box isn’t ideal and I’m currently looking for a colo server to replace it but it’s been effective.

It helps with streaming as well since OBS makes my laptop run slow so recompiling during development/test runs is painful.
