Chris "$8 peasant" Jones@climagic locally and remotely!
Peter Jakobs ⛵@climagic in fact, I did do quite a bit of coding on Trains, and since I was working on Arduino libraries, I usually had the necessary dev board with the relevant hardware on a breadboard with me. I was often almost expecting to be looked at as if I was building something nefarious.
Digital Mark λ ☕️ 🕹 👽@climagic I say "yes", but I think only interpreted code. I've written & run Python in the air and on trains. When I was doing Java, I'd mostly read on planes to get away from the horror.
Wolf480pl@climagic on a bus
Matthew MillerI have done all three!
Quincy ⁂@climagic and while waiting for transport.
@climagic well technically I didn't compile but my pocket computer (AKA "phone") did :-P
Cruising Steveswijk@climagic Tough one: Technically I think the answer is no, because it was via ssh on a remote system. Did that regularly when commuting by train back on my first job and used Gentoo... 😉.
naugtur@climagic everyone has. Ever since Firefox v4 introduced Jit in late 2000s JavaScript is getting compiled in your browser 😎
Momo
Pixel Dunn@climagic on train. on my phone. few times.
isa 
@climagic while riding them or code that runs on them?
Dr. Juande Santander-Vela@climagic does LaTeX count? If it does, many times.
Peter Hoffmann@climagic on a train. And for the first half'n'hour I always had to fiddle with docker network stettings as they don't get along with DeutscheBahn's free wifi
Cris@climagic does reconfiguring VoIP servers via VPN on a very very spotty train wireless and no cell phone reception count?
Oh, and of course it was in production and failing would have rendered 50% of the calls useless 🙈

@climagic The Great Train Compilation
Matěj Cepl 🇪🇺 🇨🇿 🇺🇦@climagic I was working for eleven years for a company on the other side of the republic, so I spent plenty of time in trains with nothing else to do.
Helle, Queen of Dissociation 
@climagic plane, train, boat, tram, bus, metro and car (though not with it in motion). Though the tram one was more, I set it going and just checked on things.
And all in scary looking terminals obviously.
dosmanak@climagic I use mostly interpretted languages and if not the compilation usualy runs in CI. So I don't have much changes to compile on the move.
⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@climagic I'm a Ruby programmer, so, no.
Ben Zanin@climagic I mean, what with JITs these days,,,
@climagic technically I installed and (via libgccjit) compiled an emacs package last weekend while waiting at a red light on my bicycle?

@climagic I have logged into machines and done various coding work plenty of times. I don’t think I have actually, literally compiled anything while in transit.
R̸̜̕ò̴͓s̵͈͠s̷̮͗@climagic on and for but never at the same time
Sammy (is just a fox 🦊)@climagic and then deployed it over train WiFi — not fun. 😌
Ursidinoj/The Bjornsdottirs@climagic I believe I have compiled outdoors.
genehack@climagic you haven’t lived until you’ve released software over plane Wi-Fi!
Erik G.@climagic *Yes, and I was also asked by the staffers about what I would be doing there, because I was making the other passengers "uncomfortable". 😉
Ricardo aka Mr. Bug@climagic the first "make" command on a train you never forget!

@climagic 
Yes I was coding Pleroma when I was on a train
Yes I was coding Pleroma when I was on a train
ちゅぽ@climagic I've been on a plane once and couldn't have any devices whatsoever, never been on a train nor boat 
LisPi@climagic A while ago I had hours of commute by bus and/or metro at different points in my life.
I still have most of that code.
bigblen@climagic are you thinking about the time at LCA2015 in Auckland, when Andrew Tridgell logged into the autopilot of a (drone) plane that was in Australia and started a kernel compilation on the same processor that was controlling the flying plane?
Flying with Linux
sarah tonin 
@climagic yes, and I wrote it on an android phone using a cli text editor
would not recommend
Dickenhobelix@climagic It depends. I didn't do it yet on a train or plane in a sense of "compiling on the board computer", but whilst riding it on my laptop or phone: sure
webhat@climagic I've done an OS install on a plane, including compiling a new kernel. At least until my battery ran out. 🤣
Arnau "Kyngo" Martín@climagic what if I did in all of them *at once*?
