One of the advantages of CMS systems like Wordpress or Blogger is having a mobile app. I do a surprising amount of work on my phone these days from the simple replying to messages and having video calls with various teams to using SSH on servers or using the GitHub app to see the status of builds. The one thing I don’t do very often is edit code. The phone keyboard isn’t well suited for the various special characters that programming languages demand and there’s no escape key for vim 🤣
In comes Working Copy to save the day. It’s a iOS/iPadOS git client that includes code editing. It’s not an IDE and while it does have AI integration it does not currently support Copilot. Despite this the simple editor has been enough to write this simple blog post and publish it. The beauty of this is the best ~camera~computer you have is the one you have to hand. Sometimes when inspiration strikes I don’t have a laptop or even an iPad and all I have with me is this phone. I wanted to be sure for everyone using this approach to the company blog that mobile editing would be an option and it turns out, it is.
Keeping the basics like the blog, website and product list as code keeps the company grounded in the everything-as-code principles that we preach to customers when it comes to running their infrastructure. While I’m not sure we would ever recommend this approach to blog writing for a client we are different and the people editing this blog are Unicorns.
