In addition to the incredible engineering work here the OP casually flexes by showing the development happening _in an economy class airplane seat_.

This is the most incredible part. I cannot even use a laptop adequately in an economy class seat, I cannot position the screen so that I could see it, and the keyboard so that I could type on it, at the same time. (To say nothing of connecting a Wii.)

And the guy next to him is just staring at his phone, probably thinking, "I'm not even gonna ask".

Although if it were me I'd probably annoy the heck out of him asking why he had a Wii on the airplane!

Looks like a Switch 2 actually.

		You're totally right, it's a Switch 2.

I think it is a bus maybe? I can see out a window over some seats, and the overhead compartments don't really look like ones i've seen before.

That being said, that is absolutely amazing they brought a wii where ever they were going to write and debug this while traveling! That is dedication!

EDIT: nvm, there are multiple pictures of them traveling. First one looks bus like, second one look like an airplane.

I can't imagine concentrating on a complicated project like that on the go, but I went back to stare in awe at said picture and I think its a train or bus. Still a flex.

Still looks like a plane to me, with rows of 2-3-2 seats.

There are definitely no buses that wide.

		My Wii has been on many planes and trains - and yes, there is a photo of each in my post.

The picture with the black seats in on a train and the one with the green seats is on a plane.

It seems a bus to me, just look at the size of the windows. Airplanes don't have windows like that..

Which means no access to Claude.

Can’t wait for his sequel “I received a Cease and Desist Letter from Apple; Feeling encouraged, I registered the trademark ‘Wii subsystem for macOS’”.

What's flex-worthy about this? There's a lot of dev work that goes on in economy class airplane seats. Or are VC valley programmers so rich they fly business everywhere?

It's uncomfortable and awkward (the Wii was on his leg in the first shot), and often you need to break concentration and pack things up to let someone out of or into their seat.

		So what you're saying is if it's flexing, it's entirely performative. gotcha. I don't think that's a healthy way to look at it - dude was just getting some work done, but maybe I'm a broken human being who's churned out more code than I would ever admit while sitting in 32C on a cross-country flight.

Imagine if he was developing it on a laptop found at a refuse site that was still charged, just hiding in the hedge so that guards wouldn't see him.
