I wonder if it's usable from an iPad. I haven't tried an online ide before, but if it works well it could be a great mobile development tool. It would be awesome if this could be setup as a backend for vim as well. Given how well Coc.vim integrates with VSCode tooling, I'm cautiously optimistic.

That's correct it's usable from an iPad during the beta. There are a few known issues but we're planning on addressing those so that we can support this workflow (I work as the product lead on Codespaces).

My kingdom for native VSCode on iPad. It’d be soooo much better than a Safari version.

Many vendors do think like this when they start their offer with 'how much is your time worth'? Indeed, your tool might save me 1 hour but it's not necessarily worth the price. On complex codebases though I mostly need the IDE just to navigate code. Anything released in the past decade knows how to index some classes, jump around and do 'find usage'. I agree that tooling most definitely helps, starting with your offi…

Chair, desk, distraction free environment, fast computer, fast internet, multiple screens, consistently good sleep, diet, and exercise. Stable emotional environment (relationships). You could easily get better than 1% from each of those. I'm ruthless about optimizing these. Software tools, keyboard shortcuts, libraries, frameworks and saas software are also good targets to optimize that often don't get enough attenti…

(Serious question) I'm curious to hear more about "ruthlessly optimizing" your emotional environment and relationships. That is not something heard everyday...

Or if you'd prefer not to personally summarize, are there any books, articles, videos, etc, you can recommend that expand on this overall life philosophy?

Interestingly, it seems that Microsoft hast just renamed its "Visual Studio Online" (which was basically the same as this new product) to "Visual Studio Codespaces". So it seems that they are merging these two products. (See: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/visual-studio-co... ) EDIT: They actually announced the renaming of the product a couple of days ago: https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/30/microsofts-vis…

Codespaces uses the same underlying technology as Visual Studio Codespaces to bring a fully GitHub-native experience to our GitHub users. We've been working with multiple teams on the Visual Studio side to make this happen (I work as the product lead on Codespaces)

Is the codespaces team hiring by any chance? I took a look at GitHub Jobs, and there are a few positions I could apply to there, but none directly related.

Don't forget about VSCode! It's very quickly becoming one of the best free editors out there, replacing Sublime, Atom and the rest. I'm actually curious, will this be using Atom, it's own thing, or VS Code as the editor backend? I have actually been running code-server [0] which finally allows me to have my powerful editor with all my settings and extensions and working with my own files on any device. [0] https://gi…

> replacing Sublime, Atom and the rest Regarding Atom, I've heard some whispers around the internet that they may slowly wind it down in favor of VSCode so that Microsoft doesn't have two competing text editors. Anyone know how true that might be?

If you look into Atom's changelogs and commits graph you can clearly see they winded it down the day the GitHub acquisition was completed.

Atom is basically in maintenance mode now.

Github has had a built-in editor for almost a decade, you just had to click the Edit button in the file: https://github.blog/2011-04-26-forking-with-the-edit-button/ (the button has since changed look to a Pencil icon) This is not to disparage you, just to note that it may not have such a great effect.

GitHub's editor is useful for simple fixes, (formatting, markdown, typos,) but Codespaces seems extremely useful in building a reproducible dev environment for more complex packages / projects, including build tooling!

Yes but OP was talking about simple fixes in the first place

'How much does Codespaces cost? Codespaces is free while in beta. Plans and pricing will be announced as the beta progresses.'

I think if you look at the pricing for github actions minutes, you'd gather an extremely rough idea of what they feel is a fair price for docker hosting. Maybe add some buffer to make the VS Code investment worth it, etc.

Absolutely, just might not be for everyone. Installing running those modules is gonna cost them. node_modules for create-react-app, react official boiler plate is around 280mb

I understand that many companies will be seduced by the offering and what could come next: * No more source code on developers machine so better for security. * No more development environment to setup and all the devs sharing the exact same settings: simplified onboarding of devs. * No need for costly developers machines. * No more infra to setup to host the source code repository, the CI/CD workflows (even if many…

They announced developer productivity analytics in the same keynote as they announced codespaces. It's not just coming, it's here! Funny enough, after introducing the analytics stuff, they started the next section by showing that the more code you write the more security vulnerabilities you have. Which is it, Github? Do I want to stay on top of your SLOC leaderboards so my manager doesn't fire me? Or does writing the…

Do I get points for deleting lines of code?

I'm very excited about this! I hope you can host Codespaces in Australia as well so the latency is nice and fast! I tried VSO but I could only deploy to Singapore and it wasn't fast enough for me in Australia.

Super super super excited!

Thank you for your feedback! Regarding performance, we've made some recent improvements (here's one example: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30507#note_293... ), but we know we need to do more. We're actively working to improve our sitespeed ( https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/issues/7154 ), and we have several other improvements in process this quarter. Regarding disabling features and the…

I love GitLab's transparency and the decentralized concept; But I can't comprehend how some basic features take as long as they do to get done. It took GitLab _3 YEARS_ to add a "What's new" link to the header: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/16653 ... and it still isn't closed. Issues fall through the cracks because there's no internal health oversight, take this issue for example: https://gitlab.com/g…

My favorite is when I open an issue and get no response.

Then, after a year, a bot auto-closes the issue due to "inactivity"...
