Good point. A lot of people are criticizing you for "preaching" about using an iPad for their work, when in fact you are just sharing your dev setup for us to read. It won't work for everyone, but it works for you so who are we to criticize you?
Anyway, you have an interesting setup and I want to thank you for sharing!
Aside, I also run a Pixel LS with Crouton and love it still.
- gregjor 9y agoI wrote this because I had told a few people I can use an iPad for work and they asked me to write up the details because they would like to do it. A quick Google search shows quite a bit of interest in using tablets instead of laptops. I think I clearly made the point that this won’t work for a lot of people, and iOS gets close to a good developer experience but has some frustrating issues. Haters gonna hate, the subject doesn’t even matter. If I wrote about my favorite work chair I would get replies about better chairs and lectures about how I should stand or walk on a treadmill. If I wrote about my motorcycle a lot of people would tell me what a piece of crap I ride. When I switched from a Macbook to the Chromebook Pixel, after a lot of research, I was told by other developers that I couldn’t work on a Chromebook.
- skiman10 9y agoThat's really cool people were interested in reading about how you do it! I always have a fascination about how other people live their lives and that includes setups and other such things. I enjoy my Pixel LS so much, it really is an incredible machine. It has some pains for development work, but for me the pros outweigh the cons. I just really don't like MacOS or Windows because they get in my way. Chrome OS doesn't get in my way.
