"Coding on iPad using self-hosted VSCode, Caddy, and code-server", 70 comments, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41448412 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41448412 Like "The Best Camera is the One You Have With You", iPad could be the industry defacto dev environment, when away from a laptop/desktop. It could rival iPhone in ubiquity, because there's little competition in tablets. Pixel Tablet is a distant runner up in specs, but offers OS/app flexibility. iPad Pro M4 already runs VMs (Secure eXclave), but Apple leadership refuses to give customers access to an iOS CLI shell running in an isolated VM. Until Apple stops ignoring the requests of their multi-device customers, it's best to invest in other platforms, using the iPad as a dumb client.
