Pratham Prasoon, a 16-year-old student and developer, shares his experience using code-server as an alternative to VS Code. He finds that hosting code-server locally on his system improves performance by reducing RAM and CPU usage, making it faster than VS Code. Additionally, he uses code-server with Google Colab for machine learning projects, leveraging the platform's free access to super-fast GPUs. Pratham appreciates code-server's lack of telemetry, support for Jupyter Notebooks, and availability of most needed extensions.
