I actually use iPad for coding nowadays. It is of course slower than using a keyboard but also a quite relaxing and fun way of programming.

After a few years of frustration with trying to make my iPad useful for coding, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 and keyboard case for about 200GBP. Install Termux from the Google Play store (no warranty voiding rooting required). `apt install clang` and off you go.

The iPad I had before this was undoubtedly prettier and had a better UI, but the cheapest iPad is twice this price and after years of buying apps, faffing with file sharing, and even porting one or two interpreters across to iOS I never managed what takes 10 minutes on Android.

What type of code do you write on iPad? Do you ssh into something to make it run?

I ssh, and I run a vscode server, and jupyter notebooks from my iPad.

Let's me query sql, full programming, normal IDE for NetSuite stuff I need to work on. It's great

PHP, html, JavaScript. Using FTP to push code directly from the app.
