You run that locally on your own machine, or you host it yourself somewhere? If the latter, you just stop programming fully if the internet connection for whatever reason doesn't work?

I'd never consider running my code editor as infrastructure, but certainly interesting to see that others seems to do.

It's privilege and probably a dose of luck but I can tally up on one hand the number of hours my house and/or phone hasn't had internet in the last 5 years, including total power losses. I also wouldn't run my editor as a hosted service but I can understand why someone in a similar position might take that gamble. It's certainly no bigger of a risk to me than being limited to working on something physically at a workplace and needing to rely on transportation to get there, which also has maintenance concerns and infrastructure congestion and reliability issues that have caused more productivity losses to me than my utility providers ever have.

I just install the container remotely, cicd remotely etc and code locally. My use case is the opposite, I might need to do some adhoc support and not have the laptop with me so then I use the online code editor

I've used Github's built in VSCode for quick one-line PRs or docs cleanup. I'm lazy enough to appreciate the feature even if I would never do deeper work in it.

Not my thing but I see why others would like it. Forgejo is freaking tiny by comparison resource-wise, though. It’s a Go program that runs comfortably on a Raspberry Pi with a dozen other services. That alone makes it super attractive to drop onto any spare computer you have laying around.
