My motivation is I have a myriad of devices that cost practically nothing and require no configuration or upkeep, that can also open pages on the internet and connect to the same monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Replacing my laptop later this year will cost ~$2k, along with endless time and attention and so much otherwise-useless knowledge to keep it operating and secure and configured. I get bugged every day by software asking me to watch an update download. Every time I boot my computer 2 or 3 different game clients somehow all have 50 - 100 meg of updates.
None of that helps me write web apps.

You should start by setting up a proper environment on your PC that is "distraction free". You are not going to be more productive on a phone when it comes to writing web apps. All is required on a PC is a cli with SSH and a browser. I'm saying that as I'm typing on a $250 dollar laptop that I use everyday for Java development, and it still boots under 10 seconds on windows 10.

- benologist 10y agoI think the distinction only matters if the goal is to code with nothing but your phone, if you went all in you'd continue to use your monitor, keyboard and mouse so they're pretty much interchangeable.
