Claude Code On-the-Go (granda.org)

Article summary

The article describes a setup for running Claude Code agents in parallel from a phone, using a cloud VM, Tailscale VPN, and Termius on iOS. This allows for asynchronous development from anywhere, with the ability to kick off tasks, receive notifications when input is needed, and review code on the go. The setup enables efficient use of time, such as reviewing PRs while waiting for coffee or fixing bugs from the couch. The author's goal is to make development fit into the gaps of the day instead of requiring dedicated desk time.

What commenters say

• Some developers are comfortable using cloud-based coding tools without local access to the codebase, while others prefer to have direct interaction with the code.
• The use of AI-powered coding tools can significantly improve productivity, but may also require adjustments to traditional development workflows.
• Setting up a self-hosted cloud infrastructure can be cost-effective and provide more control over deployments and pipelines.
• The lack of planning mode in some coding tools is a limitation, but workarounds such as asking the tool to write a plan or using alternative tools can be effective.
• The ability to review code and test services locally is still important, even with the use of cloud-based coding tools.
• The use of automation tools such as ArgoCD and Kubernetes can simplify the management of complex development workflows.
• Some developers are experimenting with new development paradigms, such as having AI agents write all the code, and are finding it to be a valuable learning experience.
