#2With Android and Termux you will also have offline support more.
But from my experience: Better buy a good ultra portable Intel CPU notebook from/with a brand/os of your choice. There will be a time where you need to install something which only runs locally.

#3can you work with those keyboards without a table,
like put it on your lap?

#4I would summarize the answer as "it's surprising how much programming you can do, but it's not a great setup."
(Disclaimer: I love my iPad Pro, and am typing this note from mine.)

#5So the actual development is all done on a remote server, no local development? In that case, it would appear that this setup would be more classified as a thin client than a “main computer”.

#6Wait, what? This isn't about using an iPad as a development machine, it's about using a server as a development machine and an iPad + keyboard to access said development machine.
I get that the author wants to use his iPad for day-to-day stuff, and that's fine, but it's a stretch to say it's their main programming machine when it's not actually running the "local" setup.
Heck, it would drive me bananas having to stop working every time I went through a tunnel on a train, or didn't have reliable connection to my VPN. Kind of destroys the point of a local environment.

#7it's looks more like a classic terminal, I bet you get more work done that way

#8This seems more appropriate as a title: "Using the iPad pro as a screen for my server based programming environment."

Indeed the article is about the ipad as a thin/remote client, not as a "main computer for programming" in any way, shape or form.

#10I use my mini 2 to connect remotely and do some work from my couch or my bed. I cannot see doing this 8 hours a day though.
