Writing on an iPad is very convenient. I would love to transfer as much work as I can on iPads (from laptops).
And replying to your child:

Money to burn, really? $10/month for people in an industry where earning $8000/month is the norm? If anything it might be too low.
- timClicks 14y agoMy dev 'workstation' sometimes consists of Linode, SSH & a tablet. That will get you working quite effectively on an iPad.
- gouranga 14y agoThat isn't "working on an iPad". That's a dumb terminal. For those of us who can't rely on a permanent connection, it's a useless and somewhat risky concept.
- bmelton 14y ago$10 a month buys me root on a server capable of running real-world applications. Scaling $10 a month for a Python terminal vs. $10 a month for a fully configurable operating system is a tough pill to swallow. If it were $10 a year then maybe we're talking? I mean, I personally wouldn't pay for it, but it certainly changes the mechanics.
