After the advent of laptops, I tried taking them "out in the world" to work from parks, or airports, or whatever. Yeah, I could get some stuff done like that. No, it wasn't a great idea. It wasn't even a slightly good idea. The only "on the road" place that works for me is inside a sailboat in a marina - quieter than home or office, better environment for work. The only "good thing" that came out of road coding? Getting hit on by a curious woman while we were both stuck in SFO waiting for the LAX shuttle that was backed up.
Road coding out in the world? A great way to spend 4x as long to produce code of 1/4th the quality as what you could do in a less chaotic office-like environment.
