One thing is for sure: if I'm going to try to do most of my personal coding projects on my iPad going forward, I'm going to need to get a bigger iPad. The 11" iPad Air that I have right now is a good size for basically everything except coding. When I'm on GitPod, for example, I need to have the sidebar open for my files, the main panel for my code itself, and a terminal panel at the bottom to test running my code. That doesn't leave nearly as much screen space as I'd like for viewing and writing my code.
I can use space more efficiently via SSH through Prompt2, but I find that I run into a lot of issues with how text renders through that... I periodically need to do things like navigate to the top or bottom of my file to force the entire screen to repaint and then head back to the line I actually need to work on, which gets annoying pretty quickly.
