"Ship on the go" is so insane to me.

It's like people pulling their phones out while taking a piss standing, or having to pull their phones out when the traffic lights are red in a crossing.

Just, do one thing at a time, live a life.

Shipping code from your phone, whhhyy. Mates, this isn't a flex, it's depression.

Maintainer here. I get the concern, but that has not been my experience.

I don't think of the mobile side as a way to keep working on your phone on top of your full working day, although I will admit it can be used that way.

It is more about being able to step away from the desk without losing access to the work. Let's say you spend 6 hours at your desk, what if you could spend 2 of those hours walking instead?

To me, it has been valuable for steering long running agents, brainstorming ideas or triaging PRs/issues while taking a walk.

Fun fact, Paseo means "stroll" in Spanish, which is where the name came from.

This seems extreme. Maybe I’m just optimistic but I think people can be intentional and present while also having the convenience and accessibility that something like paseo offers.

- If I’m on-call, it would be great to just take my iPad mini around with me instead of my heavy MacBook Pro. - Sometimes I’m on the couch with my phone and want to query an agent with access to my computer’s file system.
