I used my CB30 as a dev machine for a little while, both using cloud environments (koding, codeanywhere) and using vscode under crouton. It is so close to being usable. It is such a user friendly operating system, it just falls short on a few significant fronts. 1. Developer mode should be friendlier to use (no horrible noises on boot, no delayed boot time). 2. It needs support for electron-based/alike apps to run natively in browser windows without crouton. E.g. vscode.

You probably know this but ctrl-d avoids the delay and the noises.

Pressing keys while it's booting up is pretty scary with the threat on the screen to delete everything.

I had no idea! As far as I can remember it says any keypress will take you out of developer mode.. I will definitely try this tonight, thanks!
