The real action happens on the server: dual 18-core Cascade Lake, 256GB RAM, 100 Gbps Ethernet adapters. My code is to pump out high speed network traffic on these Ethernet adapters. github.com/usnistgov/ndn-dpdk
Locally, it's just a crappy laptop and sometimes I use the Raspberry Pi.

I could do JavaScript development on remote servers, but there's more latency.
Arduino and likes are the only times local equipment is required.

Yup of course but i keep the development cycle like local-push to gitlab-CI autodeploy to server.
It takes around 2 min for the code to reach the server on production

The servers I have are part of development environment, accessed through Visual Studio Code Remote-SSH plugin. There's no git involved.
