These are his notes

@ianbetteridge I mean, the app store is absolutely the reason why the iPad has a fraction of the web developer tools that it should have, considering the power of the hardware and the age of the platform.

Of course, I’m still holding out hope that if Apple adds virtualisation to the processor for the mac, that’ll let them roll out something like WSL but for iPad as an official app. But I don’t know whether they’ll want to given their seeming disinterest in developers as customers.

That said, I’m a huge fan of the iPad Pro and it has many of my favourite apps and I use it for hours every day, so I’m mostly arguing that things could be better, not that they are bad in the first place 🙂
