I dunno about monastic programming getting a lot of takers. Don't forget that there's usually a vow of poverty involved; fully loaded Macbook Pros or decked out 16 core Threadripper workstations are not part of the picture.
However, a communal Mac Pro may be part of the infrastructure. It's a vow of individual poverty, but that doesn't mean the monastery itself does not contain riches that its monks have access to but do not privately own.
The vow of poverty tends to mean not accumulating real estate or a retirement account. The tools of a trade and other personal necessities are allowed.
Some software can be written on a raspberry pi. Truly accessible software should be able to run on anything, for example, government web sites. Someone on here developed a site that a homeless person was able to submit a form using a PSP.
