I use Coder for deploying LLM training with Unsloth Studio and it makes it a lot easier than shuffling between terminals. The UI is really convenient for managing my container(s). The UI and ease of use are splendid. I like the ability to just click a few buttons with my mouse instead of having to open a terminal and remember the right command. The UI makes sense and whereas kubectl can be annoying, Coder is actually kinda awesome. As an end user, Coder was as easy as just opening it and clicking new workspace.

I like Coder for its template-based coding, which is valuable because when a project needs specific updates, if the admin changes one setting to the master template, everyone is updated automatically. I appreciate the hardware freedom Coder offers, as the powerful server lets me do heavy coding on a basic Chromebook or an old MacBook without slowing down. The Git integration is another aspect I enjoy; it automatically logs me into GitHub or GitLab, so I don't have to manage security keys on my own computer. I also find it very easy to set up for daily use—it's just a push-button start, removing all the boring setup work and letting me focus directly on coding and tasks.

Automated dev environments that help with devex (developer experience). This improves developer onboarding and time to market with new features. The solution has a good UI, and good programmability with an API and CLI, that is well documented.
