> what unix-worthy work can you actually do on a phone?
I do most of my light/routine server management via SSH from my phone, plus keeping a version control checkout of my documents that I do actually work on in vim (yes, the limited keyboard is annoying but it's fine for light work). At a previous job, the former extended quite far; I could get paged in the middle of the night, connect to the VPN, SSH into the server, triage, and frequently diagnose and even fix the problem without having to actually get out of bed.

- Almondsetat 1y agowhere have I talked about personal laptops?
- Telaneo 1y agoNowhere, hence why I was asking.
