My primary dev environment is in ec2. I don't really care about multiple monitors. It's so convenient.

What do multiple monitors have to do with having a dev env on EC2?

But on a similar note, I use VS Code's Remote SSH plugin to connect to an EC2 on one monitor and terminal + browser on the other. It's not my primary dev env, but it's great for experiments and side projects.

Can you tell me more about your setup? Like which ec2 instance size, remote desktop software, and any other tips? I’ve considered doing the same.

I use different size instances, but I use SSH (mosh), tmux, and vscoder through the browser, when I "need" an IDE.

on my MacBook Air, I use azure data studio to connect to our MSSQL instances if I need a UI view of our database.
