In VSCode (yeah yeah MS bad, I have to use it for work) it puts a yellow box around the charcater, which I don’t immediately recognize the meaning of and highlights the line as “identifier “blah;” is undefined”. It’s not like your gunna spend all day on it, but that could waste a couple minutes if the dev wasn’t paying close attention, which is “fun prank” territory.
The reason it’s de facto mandatory is due to some in house extensions, assuming they work with this I could, but I also don’t particularly care about my privacy on a work machine. But I will be checking this out for my personal stuff!
The extensions should work still. It even still integrates with the same extention marketplace. It’s the same software, just the open source part without the MS stuff —which honestly, I have and do use both and I don’t know what the difference is.
It’s definitely worth checking out. If it doesn’t work for you then still nothing is lost except a small amount of time, but I’m willing to bet it does.
It absolutely would be. It is, on the other hand, occasionly useful to be able to pop in and change a config file, many of which are actually Turing complete languages. What I do far more often, though, is SSH into remote, headless servers and write code there, which is exactly the same as doing it from a phone, only much more comfortable.
So not really on a phone, using a phone as a CPU. You may as well get yourself a computer and work in a proper IDE. You’ll be just as mobile and more productive!
Pretty much any ide will spot that. Maybe you can use it to teach your colleagues not to use a plain text editor.
I’m gonna need the vi guy to teach me how to get this functionality in nvim pls–don’t make me leave
The plugin YouCompleteMe would show a warning on that line
Thank you masterchief Veidt! (I had to do it, best name ever)

You can pry my vim and nano from my cold, dead hands!
^(I use an ide sometimes)^

Can you choose to use VSCodium instead? It’s practically identical, but isn’t controlled by MS.

I mean sure, but it’ll still likely leave 'em scratching their heads for a while before they go “I guess I just… replace the semicolon…?”
That’s the plain text editor Helix. In a terminal. Over ssh. On my phone. Which I can do because I’m not using a dumb IDE.
Developing on a phone sounds like one of the most unpleasant experiences I can imagine. And I include dinner with my ex.

Maybe they’ve got tiny thumbs.
With screen mirroring and USB OTG mouse /keyboard it’s totally possible.

CPU? It’s called a modem!!
Why yes my phone has both a CPU and a modem.
