    This nerd does! I’m taking a CS course and being able to access my git and make changes if I get an idea while I’m on the go is very useful.

      i have a terminal emulator app that i use to connect to some of my vps’s whenever there’s some issue i need to resolve and i’m not at home. although it’s quite a painful experience. i’m impressed at anybody who uses a phone to do anything substantial.

      i remember there was some kid on probation for hacking who used a kindle fire stick to do some cool stuff. you can do really anything you want if you have the creativity and vision

        It certainly isn’t fast but Acode is seriously amazing for its functionality. It even supports keyboard commands with a command key plugin, which let’s you do things like move lines, select within parenthesis, run code, etc.

        I’m a bit of a luddite though, I don’t really care much for major IDEs and i prefer to write in simple code editors like Kate and do my debugging with the compiler and gdb.

          I spent like a full week setting up my nvim config and it’s the only thing I use. Fits like a glove and everything else feels off.

          Although VS Code + vim mode isn’t bad.

          What kinda stuff do you usually write? These days I’m mostly doing react native. I wonder if Kate plays nicely with vim mode. I use Gnome on my Arch so I try to avoid KDE applications.

            I am very new to programming so as of now I’m not doing much more than simple shell scripts and C programs to do basic CLI things lol. I’m talking the Harvard CS50x course which has been a real treat. I’m no “programmer” yet but someday I hope I can make applications. I really enjoy C and have an interest in Java, Zig and PHP (mostly because my buddy loves PHP and doesn’t shut up about it)
