Cool. Glad to see that someone is actually trying to use codespaces. Just a side comment - the big bummer with codespaces that even if it had public "free" version, it is only available to paying customers (and those who signed to public beta like me). This actually heavy deacreases it's usability. I was **really** hoping we could use it as a way for underrepresented people in the OSS - those who cannot afford big machines and high-speed networks. Or those who have Windows (we do not have great support for Windows users yet) and woudl like to make a quick fix. It would seem PERFECT for this if not the fact that those contributors are exactly those who cannot affort paying to get codespaces access. For me that was one of the greatest disappointment in GitHub when they announced that it's going to be only available for paying customers. This is why codespaces support does not get much love in Airflow - I personally see codespaces as "good enough" for most users who are occasional contributors, and who could simply use it as "hey let's get environment up and running to run those tests". No machine, no network, no setup. With the "size of machines" and remote access roundtrip times and generally latency, it's not good enough for power, regular users who can spend a little more time on setting up development environment of their own and can affort to set-up a good local dev env. That's why Codespaces support is a little underdog for us. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
