  Here's a tip for dealing with a small dev machine: Try sitting at a table in a sand-floored bar with a good thatch roof to keep light levels down, but a good view of the beach and the sea. Tonsai beach in Thailand is my personal preference, but you can probably make it work at any little beach community with good wifi and cheap bungalows to rent. Notice how owning a 3 pound machine that you can fit comfortably into a tiny backpack suddenly seems like a much better idea. You might even wonder why you need to keep an apartment back home capable of containing a 30" monitor. For the same rent payments, you could just stay here indefinitely. Naturally, if you don't have a beach to use it from, the tiny road machine makes somewhat less sense. Good thing that, as developers, we're in of of the few professions where we get to choose whether to add that beach to our dev setup.
