Im away from home for a couple of days and I don't have my laptop with me. So I asked myself the question "Can you write code on your phone?". So I searched for an answer. I found out that you can, but IT'S NOT WORTH IT, unless you have something really urgent.
As you would expect typing on your phone is really slow and annoying.
The answer to the question is that you should plan and take notes if you only have your phone and implement it when you have access to a computer.

I think it is worth it. You can do a lot on your phone using Replit or GH Codespaces. Is it going to be the best experience? no. Programming as a whole is rarely a walk in the park. you got to do what you got to do.
The absolute best way to code on a phone isn’t about squeezing a desktop IDE or a heavy keyboard onto a tiny screen. It’s this:
1️⃣ Sync repo between phone and an SSH server.
2️⃣ Cache the repo locally to phone storage before you head out.
3️⃣ Stop typing code. Use a local/cloud AI model via natural language to edit the codebase directly.
4️⃣ Push the changes back to your remote SSH.
We are so close to "mobile first" software engineering and it’s not going to look like Vim on Termux.
