Not a good time for programming (On the go)

It's not a good time for programming.

It's not a good time for programming.

I'm on the road, with my laptop hidden in my bag.

On my phone with Android, the main place I can run code in is Termux.

One thing I like experimenting with is Nix.

Nix lets me define my environment in a single file. Then, I can recreate this environment anywhere, with one command.

Having one file, like "default.nix" or "shell.nix", type nix shell, and voila!

You're now in a subshell with all your dependencies, exactly how you defined them!

Nix doesn't yet work in Termux.

Solution to that? Have a remote dev server to connect to!
