# Boosting your Productivity with VSCode and SSH on remote machines **Speaker:** Joaquín Hernández • **Date:** 22-08-2025 ## Abstract Working remotely on servers doesn’t need to be uncomfortable. This talk introduces practical techniques to simplify and speed up your workflow using SSH, set up your .ssh/config file to avoid putting your password every time you do ssh, and Visual Studio Code’s remote development features, including Python scripts and Jupyter notebooks. We’ll start with the basics of secure connections, then move on to automating repetitive tasks with SSH configuration files, and finally integrate everything into VSCode for a smooth, almost local, coding experience. By the end, you’ll have a ready-to-use toolkit for fast and efficient remote work. ## Files - Slides: [slides.pdf](./python-coffee-joaquin.pdf) - Video: [video](https://youtu.be/11ChJI4omgs)
