You only think that because that's what we've let transpire. It's a disgrace that I can not use my iPhone or Android phone to easily create new software, only consume. They're more than powerful enough to fully replace most computer usage including software development. But no, we've let them normalize locking the OS, and hiding the file system. Its an absolute disgrace.
- eptcyka 5y agoLocking the filesystem doesn't necessarily mean developing with them is impossible. What is preventing IDEs from working is the inability to execute unsigned binaries combined with the absence of signing binaries locally. And I agree, I too see this as an invitation to fornicate myself, a personal invitiation signed by google and Apple no less.

- skinnymuch 5y agoHah I so strongly disagree with your Phil Xbox take. But am nodding along agreeing with a lot of your recent comments. This one especially. It is absolutely a disgrace. Not even specifically to create software. Not allowing root, the ways of the app stores, the entire UX. It all focuses on consumption and weak workflow. A 13 inch iPad could very easily be a dedicated developer device (and some do get by this way), but it’s such a pain.
