What are some tips for working remotely, on the road?

Once in a while, I find myself working not just remotely, but away from the comfort of my home office (and speedy internet connection!)

I'm typically in the NYC area in these cases, and it's been my experience that it's impossible to find a place with cell phone reception, outlets, usable internet AND peace and quiet. I know, high maintenance.

It seems none of the big co-working spaces are welcoming to the occasional drop-in member.

Do some of the more traveled dev.to users have tips for when you're on the road and looking to dig in to work / take calls?

(Edit: worth noting that I don't own a vehicle, Amtrak / Megabus are the main modes of transportation.)

For me, I know having a spare USB battery pack charged at most times has been a life saver time and time again.

Cross-browser integration testing: best scalable solutions?

I'm curious what everyone's using, trying to find IE/Chrome/Safari friendly integration/regression testing solutions.

I'm interested in functional as opposed to visual testing, but that's welcome as well!

Request for React Monorepo Advice / Pitfalls

Moving to a Monorepo: What should we know?

We've decided to take an approach to make a group of components into a monorepo, as components are often updated separately and that level of granularity is important. Lerna is popping up as a popular solution for implementing, but I was hoping to pick the hive-mind for other solutions and alternatives.

I just don't have an idea of the options out there in the field. Thoughts? I appreciate it.
