- epolanski 9mo agoWhy does it have to be a laptop, and why does it need to be new? There aren't that many places in 2025 where getting a phone with internet is significantly cheaper than getting some scrappy laptop or desktop.

No, but it's not a choice between a phone and a laptop. You NEED a phone. So you use what you've got. I've done work helping developers in less developed countries and you frequently find they're sending screenshots of code they've written on phones.
- herewulf 9mo agoI think I'll take any LLM slop code over the written-on-phone-by-"developers" slop code.
