Worked more than one year on Dex years ago. Developed a million-user website with Tmux.

The only thing that wouldn't work was a ruby CSS library that had a (if processor='arm') {crash()}.

What a pleasure to have a computer in your pocket.

These days, I would just use a vscode tunnel from Android to develop on a real computer, but edit locally.

I've done that with my Pixel 8a connected to external screen and input devices. Works ok.

I have been using code-server (openvscode-server will also do) to run on a remote powerful machine and then connect to it from lesser devices (a phone in desktop mode would be good if I could do it!) via a VPN. Keeps all the source code remote.
