Subway Programming

Question

Programming

Hello.
I travel on public transport all the time. I usually read or play gemei 330. But somehow I got tired of everything.
So the question arose, really programming in transport. Here, rather, for study, because. reading technical literature without live examples is not very good.

Of the languages, mainly C and php, well, in the best version of C#.

Of the obvious options, a small laptop or tablet.

Maybe someone has experience or thoughts on devices?
Thank you.

Answer 1

In general, the very fact of writing code when programming takes less than 10% of the time. I don’t think it’s worth it to be so perverted for the sake of these 10%. It is better to program in transport by thinking over and thinking through the algorithm, functions, interfaces, etc. So that, upon arrival, it only remains to transfer the listing from your head to the computer.

Answer 2

Better read on, the benefits will be much more.

Answer 3

Everything depends on the conditions. In Moscow, for example, during rush hour you can hardly get on the train, not to mention coding. As for the tablet vs laptop - definitely a NETbook. You can find a model with a comfortable keyboard, lighter and smaller than a laptop, and coding on a "physical" keyboard is much more convenient than on a "virtual" one. Plus, you can put any OS on a netbook with any development tools.

Answer 4

It's not worth it.
0) the eyes will get tired very quickly
1) the position of the body also does not contribute to fruitful work
2) as in the previous answers - concentration

Answer 5

I often write scripts while traveling on a Toshiba AC100 or desire Z. By ssh on the servers.

Answer 6

Was trying. It turned out bad. Codepad helped - no compilers or editors are needed, but typing code on the phone is insanely inconvenient (even on Desire HD), and the shaking interfered.
It turned out better on a laptop, but the level of concentration is not the same, and if you have minibuses in the list of transport, then it’s better not to break your eyes.

Answer 7

Tried before, it didn't work well. The maximum segment of the journey without a transfer I had was 20 minutes - this is barely enough to fix some minor bug.

Answer 8

succeeds several times a week. Asus EEE PC 1005P and a megaphone modem for everyone.
coding is convenient, and you can just surf.

Answer 9

It is inconvenient with a beech in transport, there is not enough space, the display has to be turned to full and the laptop itself has to be tilted, someone is constantly pushing. With a tablet it is easier and more convenient, but slower in terms of typing code.
I read books in transport that do not require code examples: fiction, GTD, psychology, business literature, boring habratopics about algorithms in neural networks, etc.

Answer 10

For some reason, the phrase "programming in the subway" reminded me of this

:-)

Answer 11

It is better to think, take notes in a notebook. It is not convenient to write code in transport.

Answer 12

When a function is invented, but it is needed tomorrow, sometimes I work in the subway. Not very convenient, but in principle normal, the main thing is to make the music louder so that the noise does not distract.

Answer 13

I used to take my laptop to work with me to code on the way. basically okay. given that I went there at 14 in the afternoon, it seems not such a flea market, and back at 12 at night. But usually, in order not to waste time, I drive with a notebook and think along the way about how to write which module, etc.

Answer 14

Well, if you don’t need to run newly written scripts, then in my opinion you can use a smartphone with a stylus to “draw” code.

Answer 15

When I worked in the office, it took me 40 minutes to get there, either by minibus or by subway. If you are driving during rush hour, then trying to work on the road is useless. But if there are few people in the transport, then I was quite able to program 30 minutes out of those forty.

Answer 16

Tried to program on a PDA. The display is certainly larger than a phone, but smaller than a tablet or netbook. The eyes get tired quickly, and the neck quickly becomes numb. And when the thought flooded, you don’t have time to write the code at all, there are always typos and all that. By the way, the netbook is heavy. Maybe he weighs a kilogram, but try to hold the weight for half an hour in a bent arm.
I support previous speakers. Better a book or thoughts in a notebook, and then coding in the office.
