On the long flights where we carry more than two pilots, we have allocated break time away from the cockpit. During those breaks, you can do whatever you like (sleep, watch a film, read a book, etc). I tend to try to sleep on the plane, but I always bring my laptop on trips to work on projects while downroute. Especially on west-coast trips with the 8 hours timezone change, I am usually awake at 2am which is great for being productive!
- walthamstow 1y agoI am insanely productive when programming on flights without wifi, provided I've cached what I needed to beforehand. Something about it just works
- amelius 1y agoOk, so no high-quality LLMs possible.
- bschwindHN 1y agoI'm jealous - all that time sitting around to get something productive done, and I can't concentrate at all because I can't relax, the plane suddenly shakes and distracts me, and it feels like I'm lacking oxygen and am not thinking clearly. I remember trying to code some stupid iterator thing in Rust for a few hours and couldn't crack it. On the ground it was solved in like 10 minutes.

- bschwindHN 1y agoI'm jealous of them being able to be productive _on a plane_. I can be productive on the ground no problem, but I'm mostly useless when I'm on a plane.
