> How much time could you conceivably use this for?

I also thought the same. It's a nice feature to have, but typing out significant code on that keyboard is a burden compared to a full-sized keyboard. Plus, it's not small enough to carry on the daily.

I personally believe the correct form factor for such devices is a smart watch, where code is written off-device and deployed to it, and the results of the code can be enjoyed throughout the day.

For example, I've developed(/ing) a Micropython based smart watch [1] where code is deployed onto the watch. The idea is to be able to deploy apps and interact with them via a simple interface. Being able to interact with my code daily helps keep the device relevant and to be able to make continual progress.
