I do most of my programming from my phone now. I love it. I get to spend more time out in the world and not chained to my laptop. I can work in the garden with the chickens, or take the dog on a walk, or use public transport time productively while going to fun places.
replyIt's actually the writing of content for my blog that chains me to the laptop, because I won't let AI write for me. I do get a lot of drafts and the occasional short post written in Apple Notes though.
What's your workflow?
replyGoing from ten finger typing to thumb only or voice has never panned out for me. Any tips?
replyMainly that you don't need to be as accurate with a coding agent - minor typos don't matter, so mobile typing or voice is often enough.
replyI always want to know what the hell it is these people claim to be working on lmao.
replyBut seems like this guy is the real deal based on his post history
Simon has a lot more smaller projects than one big project these days (afaik, so special insights), which are more conducive to this maybe?
replyI always try to not use my phone when out and about, preferring to chat people up so we don't lose our IRL social skills. They are more interesting than whatever my phone might have to offer me in those moments.
I've shipped some features in my largest open source project (Datasette) recently using Claude Code: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/2636
