"When I started working at Square, Jack Dorsey was running the company off of an iPad. And so, I immediately converted in September of 2010, and haven't looked back. Everything I do in my life is either done from my phone, my watch, or my iPad."
"Like, taking a laptop with you anywhere is super easy. There's no reason to use a more powerful, heavier-weight, less flexible machine."
"In the past year, a wave of AI tools has pushed more work onto mobile devices, including so-called 'vibe coding' apps that let users build software by prompting AI."
Keith Rabois, a prominent executive, has not relied on laptops for over 15 years, favoring mobile devices like iPhones and iPads. He adopted this preference while working at Square in 2010, inspired by Jack Dorsey's use of an iPad. Rabois believes smaller devices are less distracting and more portable. The rise of AI tools has further encouraged this shift in Silicon Valley, with apps like Vibecode allowing users to create software on mobile devices. Despite this trend, laptops and desktops remain popular, as evidenced by Apple's significant revenue from Mac sales.
