As a programmer who works as a contractor, I carry around at least two laptops (one Windows, one macOS) and two phones (one Android, one iPhone). If I'm traveling to an unfamiliar area where I'm not familiar with the theft risks, I swap out the two laptops for an older laptop and a Chromebook, or sometimes just the Chromebook.
I can do everything I need to do from that Chromebook, and I have a very hard time seeing how others couldn't do the same. I can use Chrome Remote Desktop to connect to my desktop or a cloud-based workstation as long as I have an internet connection--and my two phones have two distinct carriers, so that's rarely an issue.
Really down on my luck? I've got a few Raspberry Pis on which I can use vim. They're slow, but they work.
