VS Code has a tunnel feature buried in the account menu, and it turned my desktop into a machine I can code on from any browser
VS Code is great, and every now and then I come across a feature I had no idea existed. I recently found Remote Tunnel Access tucked away in the Accounts menu. Once you turn it on, you can code on your desktop from a browser, even when you’re using another computer. You can open the files that are already there and run the project without copying it to the device in front of you. That device only needs a browser and the link VS Code gives you. Your files and development tools stay on the desktop, which has to remain on for the tunnel to work. The remote machine doesn’t have to be your desktop, either — a VM or a cloud instance works too.
