A Raspberry Pi CM5-powered handheld with a 10,000mAh battery, TrackPoint, and tactile keyboard is preparing for launch. Its open-source pitch sounds familiar, but the execution might not be.
Wow, coding on the worst physical topology/topography for the kind of input you need to perform.
A programmer needs to type fast, navigate the cursor rapidly and with easily attained precision, and needs the information displayed on a large screen so that they don’t go blind working on the code. This machine is a friggin nightmare.

you’d think so as i did, yet people wanted to do it on their blackberry’s back when i did front line tech support.
Wanted to, but how many ppl actually did and were productive?
it was my job back then to enable them as much as possible, so i looked for their perforce submits for follow up and every single one of them did.
most of them did it while on ultra long flights to korea/japan/singapore/tiawan/isreal from san francisco too… on a blackberry. 🤷♂️
