Developing on a phone sounds like one of the most unpleasant experiences I can imagine. And I include dinner with my ex.
It absolutely would be. It is, on the other hand, occasionly useful to be able to pop in and change a config file, many of which are actually Turing complete languages. What I do far more often, though, is SSH into remote, headless servers and write code there, which is exactly the same as doing it from a phone, only much more comfortable.
With screen mirroring and USB OTG mouse /keyboard it's totally possible.
So not really on a phone, using a phone as a CPU. You may as well get yourself a computer and work in a proper IDE. You'll be just as mobile and more productive!
CPU? It's called a modem!!
Why yes my phone has both a CPU and a modem.
Maybe they've got tiny thumbs.
