You don’t need root access to produce code. The number of people with access to code development and execution tools (i.e. a browser and a text editor) has never been higher. Even on iOS you can get started with a free service like GitHub or Neocities and do everything through Safari.
It’s 100% a matter of skills and motivation.
- LogonType10 5y agoThe web browser just doesn't matter if you care about the operating system code that it relies on. Without unlocked devices you don't have the freedom to code what you want to code. If I'm using a phone that sends my pics to the cops and advertising companies I don't really care about playing with MVC frameworks. Do you want the freedom to code whatever you want to code or do you just want to play in Microsoft's kiddie pool?
- brabel 5y agoI am a software developer myself and I've never even tried to change my OS code... it's absurd to think an average person would want to do that! They just might want to control their dildo, or lights... or turn on their AC at a certain time... wtf man, how out of touch can someone get?
- LogonType10 5y ago>it's absurd to think an average person would want to do that Hate to break it to you but the average person does not wake up and think "you know what I want to do for the next 40 years? look at code for 8 hours a day." Wanting to do this is a weird thing (and that's okay) and it means you have different desires than my mom who likes watching youtube on her iphone.

- jiggunjer 5y agoNo-one is claiming all code needs root. But you are painfully wrong for implying no (homebrew) code needs root.
