"UNIX is my IDE."
This, but unironically.
It is kind of a shame that in the day and age of containers we can't just have Linux as an "app" on our iPads. Instead people are forced to write a worse version of everything and bundle it together as an app.
I kind of appreciate Apple's approach to simplicity. I use an iPad because I don't want to maintain another computer; syncing configuration, updating packages, etc. But it basically means that I use it as a "dumb terminal" when I hear it has a surprisingly fast processor. Seems like a waste.
You can, iSh is a container of Alpine Linux.
I admittedly don't do much of anything with it, but it's neat to have.
Neat, I didn't know about that.
I wonder why they emulate x86 instead of targeting ARM though.
It doesn't make much difference, since either way they can't run native code - iOS makes this virtually impossible.

I can commit code, build projects and deploy work all through my IDE.
It's actually why they call it IDE because it's an integrated development environment.
Are you? Apart from IDE, I also run a version control system, a build system, a CI/CD system, a language runtime..
These are all from different vendors.
