Here's some problems I've personally encountered: 1. Software Engineer 2. It's difficult to get remote debugging and remote syncing working right. We've all been there. It literally takes hours to set up, if you don't have precise instructions. PhpStorm is pretty good, but still takes quite a bit of head scratching to install when your doing remote debugging. 3. Getting an app to run locally usually takes way too much work.

And, it seems Perl IDEs/debugging tools aren't as good as they should be. We're still using the command line debug tools for Perl, and can't even set a breakpoint before that line has been executed.



When you say remote, do you mean a remote server? Or do you mean debugging on an iPhone from your dev laptop?


i mean from a remote server. Lots of development is set up to only run from a remote server and it's too much work to get it working on a localhost.
