Perhaps it could contribute in that you would have to put more effort into setting your developer environment up, and the things you could have learned could help you write code better. Perhaps you would switch to something like Sublime Text or Vim from a big IDE like Xcode or Visual Studio, which don't really do that well on smaller screens. Not really sure how much that could help with writing better code, but hey, you would know Vim so people would think you write better code.
