iPad Pro 10.5 for Software Development

I had a pretty similar setup with a Pixel C for the last year:

The portability and battery life were great, and since Android has the Termux app available, I could also do vim/git/node.js locally.

Unfortunately I had to give the tablet back when I switched jobs earlier this year. The iPad Pro looks pretty appealing, especially now that there is a Mosh app (Blink Shell), meaning that the SSH connections won't cut out after two minutes of being out of the app.

I have transitioned to an environment where I only use a web browser, a terminal and an Emacs instance.

I realise the advantage one of the huge advantages of this approach is that you have so few dependencies even Android or iOS can be OK.
