#32Hey All! I’m a PM on the Visual Studio Online team (as well as Live Share and IntelliCode), and we’re extremely excited to have more developers try out the product. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the cost of setup/onboarding, enable better team/classroom collaboration, and further support remote development. We believe that having on-demand, cloud-powered dev environments, that are accessible from VS Code and the…
Simple observation that VSO used to be the name of what is today Azure Devops, which is at its 3rd rename (vsts, ado).
Reusing the name of a past product for a new product that is not entirely related is pretty confusing.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
There is a startup here in Austin trying to create a business around the idea: https://coder.com/ I think some people see value in it as a security feature, or ease of development environment setup. There are also collaborative code editing features. You can both get into a file and type in it at the same time. You can get into your project and work on it from any machine, anywhere, even a phone, potentially. Persona…
> ease of development environment setup That's a pretty compelling reason for me. There are some projects (like Chrome, Firefox, or even OpenSceneGraph) that aren't trivial to compile entirely from source. It would be pretty sweet to have a ready-to-build environment with the project and all dependencies one click away.
Agreed, it is compelling. But not enough to overcome my abhorrence for adding latency to the development process!
I wouldn't mind having that as an option though. Like, laptop in for repair, use the online dev environment. Traveling and have to fix a critical bug, hop on the cloud environment.

Use a chromebook? No security woes.

What's going to be the plan/requiremnets behind "Bring your own"?
Re: Visual Studio online available for public preview
#36It would be great if there would be a free tier for people that want to learn C++ with VS. Something that lets you use VS online for small C++ programs (similar with Compiler Explorer but with support for running the generated binary) to build and run these small programs.

Interestingly enough, many people thought the original VSO was an online web IDE. And so in this case, we decided that it made sense to re-purpose the brand for a product that met many people’s expectations. Visual Studio Online: This time, it’s for real!

Any plans to support Firefox?
Yep! This is a high-priority, and you can keep track of progress on this GitHub issue: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/vsonline/issues/34.

Looks like Firefox isn't supported, is that on the roadmap?
Yep! This is high-pri on our roadmap. You can track progress on this GitHub issue, while we try to iterate rapidly during the public preview: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/vsonline/issues/34.

Imagine you are in a cave, for no apparent reason, and your computer is no where to be found. The only computer there is a n old school terminal that is somehow running IE11. Your colleague commits something with tabs instead of spaces and you get the notification on your phone. Now you can easily login to VSCode online to re-indent everything with spaces, commit and push it back up, all through your web browser.
or:
you want a machine that has X cpu, X ram, and you quickly want to setup a dev environement, be it for test purposes, online collaboration, teaching etc..
now you can
i don't think "owning a workstation" is gonna be a thing in the future, power increase everyday
just like Stadia, these kind of stuff is what will enable people to use POWERFULL workstations without having to own super expensive machines, or having to constantly buy an upgrade
only visionary people can trully understand the potential of such service, it is the future, you better get ready and buy some stocks
