Although I'd love to agree, I think there are two major reasons why I cannot program in a coffee shop.
1. No ergonomic keyboard (or my 22 in. monitor) to help prevent carpel tunnel.
2. No Aeron Chair.
- ardit33 18y agoGeez. I wonder how people used to work on 17inch screen (even few years ago, that used to be a luxury), and with normal/non aeron chairs. Sarcasm aside, I thought I would have the same problem, but I quickly got used to working with my laptop, and I actually I am pretty fast in it, even if it is a 15.4'' screen. The only thing that I can't stand is not having a real mouse, so I bought one small laptop mouse, and that increased my speed and productivity alot. (I am a mouse person).
- allenbrunson 18y agoi just spent half the day in a coffee shop. the table was too low, so i over-stressed my back leaning in to see the screen properly. (i'm a bit near-sighted.)

- jrockway 18y ago1. No ergonomic keyboard (or my 22 in. monitor) to help prevent carpel tunnel. I sort of have this problem. I use a model M keyboard at home, and my laptop keyboard just doesn't compare. So I find it hard to type. But it really doesn't matter, since there isn't all that much typing involved when programming; only when writing replies to Hacker News comments ;)
