Whats the 'best' way people are using to have a total portable development environment that I can reach from home or work? Meaning having vs code, node, all the various cloud local emulators/etc that you would normally install for doing that kind of dev work.

Emacs has tramp, which will allow you to remote edit files through ssh with your own setup. You have emacs installed in your computer and you can open any file in any system with ssh authentication inside it.

I am running emacs with spacemacs.org

tramp is amazing. it even works with docker containers now!

I think they meant the other way - accessing the editor/IDE remotely?

edit: or even not necessarily remotely - just a way to have the same setup everywhere you go
