“I don’t know how to work effectively from a laptop therefore no one does” is, to be frank, one of the worst takes I have read on HN for a while.
There’s nothing about a laptop keyboard that makes it not useful for work, nor anything about the screen size.
There are almost certainly any number of people who are more productive in front of their laptop than you are in front of whatever it is you use. There are people who are worse.
Pretending your choice of form factor is the ultimate in productivity is for the birds.
- roflyear 3y agoNot understanding something isn't a judgement of others. Laptop keyboards are: 1) Too small 2) Have awful ergonomics otherwise Laptop screens: 1) Are too small 2) Are positioned awfully with regards to the laptop There are a lot of other obvious issues. I just don't see how you can be as productive (the average person here not all people) vs a desktop setup.
- hug 3y agoThat’s true, and if you had simply expressed your lack of understanding that would be perfectly reasonable, but “probably not very [productive]” is a judgement, is what you wrote, and what I pointed out was a bad take. Edit: The edited and expanded comment (initially, it was just the single first sentence) directly contradicts the first sentence: subjective opinions on form factors don’t lend to definitive statements about productivity.
- roflyear 3y agoWell, I apologize. Poorly phrased.
