How to simplify too many dev environments?

Question

I code with vscode on 4 different local machines, using about 20 different ssh connections to cloud vms/containers. Two of the local machines are corporate which I don't have admin access.Is there a secure solution where I could launch a remote, centralised version of vscode? I used to ssh -X into Sublime to a lan machine which had all my projects but I want to decommission my home server.

VS Code supports several remote development approaches: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overviewI've personally had success with getting my teams on CodeSpaces and DevContainers to give everyone near-immediate access to a reproducible dev environment. You might also want to consider settings sync: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/settings-sync.

Haven't yet tried myself (but for the non corporate machines) what about VSC in the browser? Not sure it's "there" yet but I've been meaning to try it.
