Ask HN: How did you write code on restricted hardware?

2•diselody•1h ago
I remember trying to write code for a project in college from those library computers when I did not have a laptop of my own at the time.

I often used sites like Codepen and copy-pasted the progress into a github repo so I didnt lose my work.

What are some workarounds you’ve used (or tried) for writing or running code from restricted hardware, like a school computer or a mobile device? What kind of project was it for, and what hurdles did you encounter?

Carry a bootable USB drive with an OS of your choice. Boot up and work off that live environment, if the system will allow booting from a USB drive.

GitHub Codespaces, or any similar platform, may also be an option.
