The "but it's not local and therefore not programming!" style reactions make little sense to me. Programming is an activity; where the code resides or executes

The "but it's not local and therefore not programming!" style reactions make little sense to me. Programming is an activity; where the code resides or executes doesn't change that fact. How would you have the title "corrected"?
- josteink 9y agoIf the title says "using device $X as a main computer for programming", that linguistically entails two things: 1. that "main computer for programming" is the one running the stack and software used for programming and 2. that this device is $X. In this case the main computer for programming is a machine in the cloud ($Y, not $X), and $X is a terminal connecting to the cloud ($Y). The title for this submission is clearly inaccurate and misleading.
- darrenf 9y agoWe will have to agree to disagree. When I'm programming, as a backend engineer (like the article's author) I am almost always making use of numerous computers at once: my local hardware, a remote dev instance, remote production instances, databases, etc etc. The one I consider to be "main" is the one I use to input commands, write code, etc. Like the author's iPad Pro.
