nice and short writeup on Cloud development environments https://contributor-experience.org/docs/guide/tools/cdes.html I'm very fond of Gitpod for trainings and live demos but I still use my local development environment for almost anything else. what do folks use on their day to day?

I saw this the other day but haven’t used it yet https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod

My team uses Codespaces. Lot of people like it because you can connect from your local VS Code easily. I personally think it's most useful when you have some (more complex) infrastructure or services to spin up; for something like Kedro, unless we're talking about testing particular datasets or deployment options, it feels unnecessary (just create a virtual env and install stuff).
