I use tunnels to access my entire dev environment within my Quest Pro.

How often and for how long do you code like this? What has your experience been like? I always find the idea of coding in VR intriguing but am unsure of what the actual experience would be like.

I use NordVPN meshnet tunnels to connect to everything. Even when VPN is blocked by DPI, meshnet tends to stay on.

Does developing like this for an extended period of time actually work?

What wouldn't work about it?

If you don't mind my asking, I am honestly curious about this. Is the QPro high enough resolution to do actual dev work inside it?

It's a very personal thing. Some people happily do it all day, others declare it a blurry mess. I'm somewhere in between. I enjoy doing stints of 1-2 hours in there just for a change of scenery and to help me focus. It's perfectly usable for me, but it's not as good as a real multimonitor setup in general.

A key element is that although the resolution is lower than a real monitor, you get to make the monitor bigger. So the limit ends up being when you start having to turn your head to see what's on the other side of the monitor, which sounds benign but is an ergonomic disaster.

Not for me, and I am sad about it. I wish it was.

to clarify - are you saying you use the Quest browser to connect to the vscode.dev environment? Or do you use an app like Immersed with a desktop browser? Just curious if the Quest browser is powerful enough for it and works well enough.
