I'm in the process of switching a lot of my work onto iPad.

I don't see a conflict here - I'm still using a "compiler" api, its just somewhere else (i.e. not on my local device), its just in somebodies cloud. I can't see why that would go away in the future and I don't really care where the compiler actually is (if I did, I could self host).

Yes and no. So I still have a giant desktop, it’s unlikely that I’ll give that up any time soon. The advantage of being able to code from a portable device is additive, not subtractive.

The setzer22 post is a contemplation of future subtraction, but today my opportunities to code have increased, not reduced.
