While you probably could carry a starlink antenna on a backpack, nobody forces you to (And it would be very inconvenient). They are much to big to be incorporated into smartphones or notebooks.

Boss: Vacation? Where are you going?

You: Camping, in the mountains, sorry boss, no signal there, I won't be accessible.

Boss: No problem.... here's a portable starlink antenna,... just in case... you know... if there is a bug in your code... or if we have a skype call with the clients... or if we need a bug fixed... haha.. you know, fixing bugs in the forest hehe.. well yeah... just have it connected during normal business hours, just in case... and check your emails while you're connected.. and slack... and CI logs... but otherwise, have a nice vacation, I hope you get some rest!
