After reading through all of the replies, I'm surprised no one mentioned using a VPS for development. You get all of the goodness of a production environment, with the ability to use any machine I want. Because of my undiagnosed ADHD 😁, I jump between several devices with several different OSes (Windows, Linux, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS).

With mosh/ssh, I can develop from any machine I have from anywhere, as long as I have internet access. With virtual networking software such as Zerotier, Wireguard, or Nebula, I can access VPSes securely.
