Lets get the wire out of the arduino loading process.... by using ESP
example: Using the ESP01 as the simplest way, and finding a way to upload code from the IDE to the arduino wirelessly .

My idea is as follows:
- setup the ESP8266 as an access point(AP).
- Create a server on the PC (using python or whatever) that responds to any request by sending the hex file contents to be programmed as a string
- Put the PC server on the ESP8266 AP LAN.
- the ESP8266 acts as a client and sends a request to the PC server
- The PC server replies by sending the hex file contents to the ESP8266 as a string
- Once the ESP8266 has the hex file contents it then uses the stk500 protocol to program the Arduino attached to the ESP8266 via the serial port (tricky part).

This seems to do pretty much exactly what you want:
