A blog post is not evidence that the majority of programmers
will be coding on mobile devices.
Yes, but it is evidence of what I said, that "I'm in a small,
early-adopting minority now." I don't know how you expect
evidence for something that _will_ happen, it's a prediction
I'm making, though based on current, rising trends like all
those in this feed:

I don't really care if the device crunching the numbers is a
smartphone or a mainframe as long as it is fast enough and:
1) I can do my work with a regular size keyboard and large
monitor.
2) I can use whatever applications I want be it a CLI or some GUI
app.
3) I can install/execute VMs on my device of choice without
running
out of memory.
4) My data isn't monitored, controlled, owned, or data-mined by
some large corporation.
5) I can easily move my data, etc. to another device if I decide
to.
6) I can use it to play any DVD's that I own (don't have a TV).
7) I can't easily lose my computing device :o)
How far off do you think mobile devices are off providing this
type of experience, or are they already there in your mind? What
about #7.
