Now that we have pervasive and quick internet in most of the places people want to work, we can start offloading the work back to centralized machines.
It's honestly a more efficient use of resources to have shared central systems, we just had to move away from them for a few decades because the networks couldn't keep up with where people wanted to work.
Yeah, we are actually huge fans of writing code on the cloud!
To me personally, It feels awesome to offload the package/repo download to the data centers, which can be way more faster than my own network. Not even mention that my laptop no longer heats up crazily - I can just put it on my lap and write code.
Mainframes are back baby!
