iPad Pro as a main working device?

Someone uses iPad Pro as a principal device to working? Most like programming stuff in your day-by-day?

Cheers for the mention @AstonJ, happy to chime in. My post from the Elixir forum is still all pretty current — there’s a few things that have changed but it still largely comes down to “how comfortable are you using a terminal on a remote machine?”.

I haven’t worked this way for a while as I started some contract work for a C# shop and since been back on a Mac working with Swift, but when I last used an iPad the biggest limitation was still the browser. If you’re targeting the web and are looking to do front end work, you’ll find all browser debugging tools lacking compared to desktop counterparts. Anything truly backend and you’ll be fine.

For what it’s worth, I still really miss this point in my career. I was working almost 100% on backend and database coding and had my iPad connected to a truly monstrous server hosted by Hetzner. It felt very “pure” and simple compared to all the IDEs and debugging tools I’m forced to contend with now.
