February 2023 Summaries

A Meetup is being hosted at the Austin Office, with an opportunity for interested attendees or speakers to participate. The event will take place on September 24th, 2024. In a typical conversation with a prospective customer, it's highlighted that "it works on my machine" problem occurs when code written by developers or data scientists works perfectly fine on their local machines but breaks in downstream CI pipelines or production due to mismatched dependencies. This issue leads to lost time, costly re-work, and delayed software delivery. Coder is a self-hosted remote development platform that eliminates "it works on my machine" problems by enabling DevOps and Platform Engineering teams to centrally govern and control images and workspace build configurations used by developers and data scientists. By updating the Dockerfile or VM image with the new Golang version, Coder templates, and using the Coder CLI, users can centrally update the Go language version for their developers. This helps eliminate re-work, reduce potential revenue loss, and improve brand management. Other benefits of deploying Coder in an enterprise include enhanced security by removing source code and data from insecure desktops, increased access to compute in cloud infrastructure, and shortened time to code contribution, thus boosting developer productivity.

A Meetup is being hosted at the Austin Office, with an invitation for interested attendees or speakers. The event will take place on September 24th, 2024. Coder has introduced a new feature called Coder Remote VS Code extension that enables developers to use their locally installed IDEs like VS Code for remote development. This extension provides several benefits such as access to the largest availability of extensions in Microsoft's Extension Marketplace, familiar keyboard shortcuts, low latency, and environment consistency. The new feature enhances developer productivity and acceptance of remote development as a preferred method for building software.
