I remember having some kind of a shell app on my iPod Touch in college and needing to run and find wifi a few times to troubleshoot something at a job I was student working at.
They were fun times :D
Imagine doing that on a time share system through a rotary phone...
Luckily I think in this day and age it’d be more viable and not as miserable as an experience - dare I say more accessible
You can connect an external keyboard to your phone and if you can swing getting a cheap IPS panel that displays text clearly enough, you’d have a working set up
Anyway, kudos to you, I love reading stories about determination
I remember when I started learning coding. I didn't have the Internet. It was also terrible and I was also determined.
When I started learning coding, we had to run 50 kilometers through dense jungle, fight Jaguars and jump over snakes, to get to the only computer in the region. I saw a lot of friends die during the daily journey. The teacher was a shaman too, very knowledgeable on C. He would teach us rituals and stuff.
I wrote C with a compiler running on my Palm Pilot well before smartphones existed yet
