with the gen ai cli tools, i think if i go all in, i could skip lugging my laptop around. theres some UX warts to phones where i think i need a keyboard for tab, ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+d, delete, and so on, that arent in gboard, but i think it could be a fun side project to design and build a tiny mechanical keyboard that only had those buttons i need
im running the newer pixel fold, so ive already got a ton of screen real estate.
ive made a couple code changes phone-only now, using the amazon internal browser that has ssh access to my dev desktop.
im missing the ability to get cloudwatch logs and the like, but when i get a good mcp, i think i can leave my laptop at home
my previous workflow was mostly on pen/paper though, only touching the keys when i know what code im going to write, or when i need to lookup something specific, so i think im in a better spot for phone dev than somebody with ten monitors each showing some chunk of code
