If you take a bus/train to/from work, it would allow you to hack out an idea on the go and test it when you arrive. Of course, that assumes you don't already have a laptop that you could use.
- m0nastic 16y agoI'm actually one of those minority of people who have completely stopped taking my laptop anywhere (and when the time comes to upgrade to a new machine, will absolutely be getting a desktop). I used to write code "on the go" in a computation notebook (actually I do that even when I'm not on the go), and only after getting it working the way I want do I actually enter it into a computer. Typing in code on a portable device has pretty much replaced my notebook, and I'm more than happy with the tradeoffs entailed in using that type of device. I should caveat everything by saying that I'm not a professional software developer (I make my living breaking software, not making it), so my use case for development might not match up with most people's.
