People who open their laptops on the hellish commute train are impressive

Coding while standing really puts you in a trance lol. I get dizzy just looking at my phone while standing.

Got a source? lol

I agree with the comment that sneaking glances at other people’s screens is a problem. I also peeked over from the side and laughed to myself because the variable names were weird, but the person noticed and turned their screen away lol. It was a bit awkward.

For someone that busy, I think it makes more sense to just finish up at the office. I'd say the era when working even on the subway was considered a virtue is over.

Well, is that really such a big deal? I've seen it a few times, and most of the time it seems like they're spreading it out just to show off to others. If it were really that urgent, I doubt they'd do that even on the subway instead of going into a cafe or an office.

I used to do that on Line 2 too. Back then, it was so I could save time for resting once I got home. But honestly, it wasn’t very efficient. Typing while standing is a typo hell, and you can’t get a good screen angle either, so after 30 minutes my neck hurts. Now I just don’t do it. Those people are either real pros or just haven’t felt the pain yet.

Sneaking a peek is even funnier lol. If someone next to you can read all your code, what about sensitive info? If it's company code, that's a security breach, seriously.

But using a laptop while standing really wrecks your back. I did that a few times too and ended up with back problems, so I stopped. If you're in a hurry, it's better to at least take notes on your phone.

True, I really respect subway coders.
