Setup is still rough around the edges (use an agent to set it up), but clawdbot (prev clawdis) from Peter Steinberger works phenomenally well for agent orchestration and personal assistance. The community for clawd is exploding right now, and I think this is purely based on merit. It’s been a game changer for my vibe coding workflow, and lots of fun. https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot

I've been running a variation of this for the past 3 weeks. I swapped out the default pi agent back to Claude Code because I didn't like the smaller feature set. Bought a phone line and communicate with my agent via iMessage on a clamshelled mac. A Tailscale network connect the head agent to all the computers on my network including my laptop, a few raspberry pi's, steam deck, and all the IoT devices in my house. As…

I should note, a lot of the functionality I built into my agent was custom after-the-fact because (at least three weeks ago) the clawdis repo was in a state that I found very broken and with tons of false information. Luckily it's easy work for Claude to get things working for you, but really the key unlock was the phone line through iMessage and the unrestricted access to all my systems. It really does feel like I'm able to work with any of my files anywhere now, while hardly requiring much of my attention at all. I would recommend something like this at the bare minimum if you intend to implement a system like this: https://github.com/kenryu42/claude-code-safety-net

Does anyone know what the "Poke" service that this blog mentions is? I'm having trouble finding it on Google.

Yeah, me too. The only thing that shows up is poke.com which has something to do with mobile notifications (and seems like at some point they offered some api, but maybe it was discontinued? or something, there are some medium posts talking about their api https://jpcaparas.medium.com/get-sms-or-imessage-alerts-from...

Pandora's box is open; we're moving towards a world where white collar workers will be working 24/7 and they'll be expected to do so. It won't matter if I'm washing the dishes, walking the dog, driving to the supermarket, picking up my kids from school. I'll always be switched on, on my phone, continuously talking to an LLM, delivering questionable features and building meaningless products, destroying in the process…

> white collar workers will be working 24/7

Where we're going, there's no "white collars workers" anymore.

Only white collars Claude agents.

Two things: 1. Like most labor organizing, I think this would be beneficial for software engineers, but not long-term beneficial for the world at large. More software that is easier to make is better for everybody. Would you still want to live in a world where your elevator stops working when the elevator operator is sick, or where overseas Whatsapp calls cost $1 per minute, because they have to be connected by a cha…

So do you believe that the gains from this technology will be broadly distributed? Or will capital capture the majority of those gains?

what technologies has "capital" captured the majority of gains from?

Seems more likely that that won't happen

This was the end game with or without AI. It was always going to result in a zero-sum game because the factories that are open around the clock can output more products - which is exactly why a lot of manufacturing has non stop shift work. If you don’t, you’re leaving money on the table and a competitor will gladly take it. When you saw 996 being talked about it should have set a few alarm bells off, because it start…

The Chinese are not doing 996 as much these days. It is illegal for starters.

I don't like typing long messages on my phone so this workflow, as cool as it sounds, wouldn't work for me. My current setup is that I have a Claude Code hook that runs whenever CC needs my input and it uses my Home Assistant instance to send a push notification to my phone. I then return back to the computer and continue on the work. This works reasonably well, but there is a gap for small messages or review comment…

I also don't like typing long messages on my phone that's why I use this keyboard that will do high quality transcriptions via whatever AI provider you want. Much better than siri/google speech to text on device.

I'm almost there. I also have tailclscale/SSH/Claude sessions on a VM.

The thing I'm missing is a phone that makes it comfy. I could just SSH feom my standard S23, but what I've got my eye on is one of those foldable things.

Has anyone used one like a laptop? Keyboard on the bottom half, terminal on the top? Does it work decently?

It's utterly unreal to me to hear so little discussion about labor organization within software during these nascent moments of LLM deployment. Software engineers seem totally resigned toward reduced salary and employment instead of just organizing labor while still in control of the development of these systems. I really don't get it -- is it that people think these technologies will be so transformative that it is…

If you think the profession has enough time to organize reasonable unions, you’re an optimist. Pessimists are changing careers altogether as we speak. Either way it’s been a fun ride.

Part of being in a union tends to be lawyering up and "nailing down" exactly what everyone's duties in detail and what fair compensation might be, and what terms / conditions might be etc.

Personally I don't think they're a great fit for the software industry where the nature of the job and the details are continuously changing as technology evolves.
