Cool! I am doing something similar in Nicaragua. Best of luck to you!
Curious about your burn rate in Nicaragua and level of safety. Care to share?

I'm imagining a surfer zen master saying, "dude it is not the size of the screen that matters, but what is in the mind."
Surfing Zen Master has a point. I work every day on a laptop switching between my browser, Slack, and a full-screen 80 column terminal. Yeah, different needs for different people & tasks. But there's nothing intrinsically wrong or difficult with working on just a laptop. I dream of being able to work on just an e-ink tablet with Bluetooth keyboard...
What about ergonomics? don't you think a desktop computer helps here?

Maybe, but working fewer hours and taking breaks is probably more important. Sitting down for hours at a time while being stressed and tired is bad no matter the perfect battle station, ya know?
Maybe I'm thinking of a somewhat utopian scenario, but I'd take a laptop plus a nice house in a nice environment over most office rooms any day.
And I think it's really important not to overwork. To the point where I'd optimize everything around it. If the software I'm making requires me to be at a computer coding or fixing bugs for eight hours every day, I'd consider that a problem to be fixed immediately.
But that's a much larger issue!
Anyway, different strokes, and it's great to have someplace to sit, but even if you give me a private office I'll probably migrate towards the kitchen table if only to have better coffee access—or go outside.
