+1 on that, I’m using iPad Pro as my only device for design & code for the last 9 months, and I couldn’t be happier. I moved to it after using over the years different MacBooks Pro and Mini’s. Yet, it’s not for everyone and many will find limitations that are impossible to live with.

I am looking forward to the next version of iPad OS to see what else they will improve. :)

What kind of coding are you doing on the iPad?

Front-end (HTML/CSS/JS) and back-end (Go). Everything using Blink Shell + AWS EC2 instance. Blink is single most used app by me on an iPad (37 hours last week) with Safari (36 hours last week).

And yes, I like to work directly in the cloud that I use to deploy my sites. :)

I wrote a small piece a month ago, maybe this will help you in some way: https://dev.to/monkin/using-ipad-pro-for-work-2dbe it’s mostly accurate, but I made a switch from Linode to AWS this month.
