I bought an iPad pro 10.5 + LTE in June, and after fixing a bunch of bugs in CoCalc.com (online coding, LaTeX, and data science), I have been pretty surprised to find myself using my iPad most of the time for backend development (for frontend dev, there is an app called "Inspect" that is kind of like Chrome dev tools). As the linked article says, copy paste is a big pain point.
What I like: speed, LTE, surprisingly good keyboard, screen nice to look at, light weight, battery life, excellent built in cameras, the new files app
What I don't like: websockets are disconnected in background tabs after about 30s, copy/paste sucks, lack of chrome dev tools, lack of a real Google Chrome browser (it's really webkit).
(Disclaimer: I work on CoCalc.)
- justherefortart 9y agoWhat do you use as an input device? Surely not the screen.
- williamstein 9y agoI use the apple Smart keyboard (I would only use the screen in a pinch).
