Bloomberg bindings
I have a bloomberg terminal that offers an api (https://data.bloomberglp.com/professional/sites/10/2017/03/BLPAPI-Core-Developer-Guide.pdf) with C++, JAVA, C# bindings - https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/support/api-library/
The typical pattern is you log into your terminal (using biometrics) and when your session is active you can use the API. This is a good way to pilot / test things before going to prod.
Any ideas on how I could do this using coder? Is there a way that I can use some proxy/portforwarding thing to the connect my vscode workspace back to my own laptop running the bloomberg terminal?

hey, do you think you could be running BT directly within Coder?
via X11 forwarding or something similar
otherwise, it seems this API is using network to communicate with the Bloomberg Terminal, correct? I'm not sure we can do port-forwarding from your machine to the Coder workspace, but something should be possible, i'll look into it and get back to you in a bit
Thanks - I have a feeling it’s just creative port forwarding / netcat that can get this done. I’m a little rusty on these aspects.
FWIW I’m actually running BT in parallels on a M4 pro. I could theoretically run BT on some sort of rdp as long as I can make my biometrics work

You can actually do reverse port-forwarding (making a port on your local machine available in the workspace) using
coder ssh -Roh yeah that's right
