Sure, mobile is in high demand today, but lots of people do stuff on mobile that is sub-optimal in terms of workflow. By "sub-optimal" I mean it really isn't designed to be done properly on mobile yet. I think this is what the parent comment was getting at...


Agreed.

I have a 25 year old nephew. He literally attempts to do everything on his iphone. I keep telling him I have a handful of decent mid range gamer tower's collecting dust, take one so you can actually do normal stuff on it when you need to write a form letter, or save some documents or play games on it?

He always just tells me, "Nope, I'm good."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


This is a legitimate issue. There are people who grow up never owning a laptop or desktop. I don't care how good mobile gets or speech-to-text, writing clean documentation, code, and using a keyboard/mouse will not be replaced anytime soon for high productivity work.


I've been holding my breath waiting for mobile, with its impossibly small tiny inhumane little box, to give way to the next big, and hopefully literally bigger, thing. It hasn't happened yet and I'm starting to think it won't. Maybe Dynamicland will save us? One can dream, but I doubt it.


>Dynamicland

Looks very promising, even a kindergarten resident may run a business with that. Should suggest it at the next hangout as our main development cycle.
