I use the iPad for the vast majority of my non-development computing. For me—and clearly for a lot of people—multi-tasking on the iPad has never been as good as it is on the Mac or even Windows. At the same time, it is absolutely as good/ easy as it's ever been. It's just still awkward and sometimes frustrating.

I think so too, I love the iPad and wish I could use it as my primary computer. Every year when WWDC (the show formerly known as WWDC?) rolls around I hope we'll see some improvements that would allow me to run some of my web development workflow on the iPad and I'm generally disappointed.
- 0xCMP 7y agoYea there are some ugly hacks to make that work. If you worked in Python I’ve seen people do work in Pythonista on YouTube, but the best way I’ve seen to develop “locally” without a jailbreak is setting up a RaspberryPi4 to provide an Ethernet device over USB-C which you can connect to via SSH. Definitely a major hack and you’ll still need to either turn on the hotspot or connect the Pi some other way to the internet.
