Maybe I’m weird, but I’d sooner get rid of all my “real” computers and replace them with a typewriter (or… nothing) than ditch my smartphone. It does way too much useful stuff.

Not weird compared to the general population I think but I would hope still a weird sentiment for the general HN readership.

I dunno—I can use a "real" computer to do geek stuff, but my phone does a whole hell of a lot more that's way, way more important to my everyday life, most of which a "real" computer would be worse at or isn't practically an alternative at all. I'd have to spend money and space (for other electronics) plus a bunch of time to replace what a smartphone does for me. Losing my "real" computers would do me practically no harm, by comparison (assuming we're not counting my employer's computer that they loan me so I can earn a paycheck—gotta have that, sure)
