Several folks online pointed me to this story of a developer who now works via iSSH, an iPad, a bluetooth keyboard, and a virtual Linux box in the cloud. It’s a cute approach and all, but my real takeaway was: Congratulations! You just re-invented the terminal.
And by his own account, it works because he doesn’t use Eclipse et. al. – not much beyond a text editor. To be sure, he uses my favorite, vi, so I’ll give him style points for that.
I nearly stopped reading at “several days of uncommitted code”.
Well, hello there, Mark!
