As others have mentioned, I’ve not had great performance with shared folders and the SSH extension in VS Code is so damn good. Over time, you forget it’s even running because you open recent projects and it remembers which were local (on host) and which are on the guest and SSH’s in automatically.

I could probably revise my use of Tailscale. My vague recollection is that I had networking issues when my laptop woke up and Tailscale didn’t have the same issues. Probably a debugging skill issue on my part.
