I thought learning to code with just a phone was a total joke

For months, I was convinced you needed a full computer setup to even start. I was stuck with just my phone and couldn't afford a laptop, so I figured I'd wait. Then a friend told me about an app called Sololearn. I downloaded it as a joke, honestly. But after a week of doing the Python lessons during my bus commute, I built my first tiny script that sorted a list of names. It wasn't fancy, but it worked. The app's little code editor and community challenges actually made things click in a way I didn't expect. Now I'm saving for a laptop, but I'm not stuck waiting anymore. Has anyone else started coding seriously on just a mobile device? What apps or tricks did you use?

Forget about hobbies, they gatekeep basic human decency sometimes. Like acting like you can't be tired if you didn't work a physical job.

Ever think only physical work counts until you cleaned offices after a desk job?
