A very nice write-up, thanks. I've always had a bad experience with hosted development environments - but it's normally been a performance issue. (Compiling 5GB of Unreal Engine C++ source on a VM is not a good idea, no matter what the company trying to sell that to your boss says.) However, for something small like Pico development I can see that it might work.

Debugging though... I suspect that might be something else entirely!

Great work documenting this! I've not used GitHub Codespace, but have used a couple of other cloud IDEs in the past, and they can be super convenient.

Very well written explanation!

Oh by the way, it needs not to be GitHub codespace, any cloud based IDE that works on VScode can be used.

Ex : vscode online (nearly same as GitHub codespace), Redhat sandbox IDE, Google IDX (if you have access), replit, etc..

From now on, I am going to create a MD file for every blog I want to post on this site and convert it into html file, then copy paste the content in source code section. Compared to my previous attempts with copy/pasting Microsoft word content and adding images one after another, this is way easier.
