Why not just use the mobile app? It has Claude Code built in. Maybe I'm an unsophisticated idiot but it works well for me. Some shortcomings with repo management but other than that, CC mobile seems ... fine
cc web can't run docker

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.
That's not an intrinsic part of being in a union, just a particular way they have been implemented in US. The fundamental point of the union is to be able to negotiate as a group. That is valuable regardless of the industry.
But what are you negotiating about? What do all tech workers have in common that wouldn't be better addressed with top level regulations like "right to disconnect"?

- maternity leave
- paternity leave
- overtime
- not having to answer a call or email outside of work hours
- workman’s comp / short/long-term disability for issues with my back or wrists or eyes or…
- about 100 more things

Before I get into it: what careers do you think are most compelling? Especially if you think all white collar work is going to be undermined by this technology. I wrote this up a bit ago in my essay fragments collection. It's rough and was just a thought I wanted to get down, I'm unsure of it, but it's at least somewhat relevant to the discussion here: LLM or LLM-adjacent technology will never take over the execution…
I'm curious how this seed/hash/prompt of an idea relates to ladders of abstraction? Consider "Uber, but for X" This wasn't a thing you could deploy as a term pre-Uber. I'm not sure what this means for your analogy, but it does seem important. Somehow branding an idea reifies a ... callable function in? ??? Maybe something like (just spitballing) The specification-length needed for a given idea isn't fixed - it's rela…
> Basically it seems that "Like Tinder but" is doing a lot of lifting there... and as new patterns get named, the recombination space just keeps expanding?
Yeah, this feels right. It's like a process of condensing: new ideas brought to life condense metaphors into more compact forms and so make language more dense and expressive. This idea reminds me of Julian Jaynes's description of metaphor condensation in Origin of Consciousness.
A lot of hard work goes into novel products, but once that work has been proven, it is substantially more trivial for human or machine to copy. Groping around in the darkness of new, at the edge of what-could-be is difficult work that looks simple in hindsight to others who consider that edge a given now.
> The specification-length needed for a given idea isn't fixed - it's relative to available conceptual vocabulary. And that vocabulary expands through the work of instantiation and naming things?
Yeah, I think that naming and grouping things, then condensing them (through portmanteau construction or other means) is an underrated way to learn. I call this "personal taxonomy," and it's an idea I've been working on for a little bit. There is just tremendous value in naming patterns you personally notice, not taking another person's or group's name for things, and most importantly: allow those names to move, condense, fall away, and the like.
I left out a piece of my fragment above wherein I posit that a more constrained form of natural language to LLMs would likely lead to better results. Constraining interaction with LLM to a series of domain-specific metaphors, potentially even project specific givens, might allow for better outcomes. A lot of language is unspecific, and the technical documents that would truly detail a novel approach to an LLM require a particularly constrained kind of language to be successful where ambiguity is minimized and expressiveness maximalized (legal documents attempt at minimal ambiguity). I won't go into details there, I'm likely poorly reiterating a lot of the arguments that Dijkstra made here:

All those sorts of protections seem like they make sense for every worker rather than being "tech" specific. I do understand that collective bargaining could help with carving out sector-specific deals, though.
I wonder if there is a difference in context that explains why we might disagree. I'm in Australia where I think it's politically easier to "add" broad top level protections for all workers than it would be in the US.

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…
Unfortunately, it's futile to try to convince the median HN poster that labor organization could help them. They've drunk the entire pitcher of corporate anti-union koolaid. People could be directly in the middle of losing their own job or taking on the responsibilities of 5 other laid-off coworkers, and they would still ask "what could a labor union possibly do for me??"
Big tech laid off 150,000 people last year despite constantly beating wall st expectations and blowing more money than the Apollo program on a money losing technology with the stated goal of firing even more people. Totally insane that most people I talk to still don’t think they need a union.
Re: Claude Code On-the-Go
#158I currently use Hapi ( https://github.com/tiann/hapi/ ) for this and find it quite handy. I can easily tap into a session on my PC from my phone. Before that I used Happy ( https://happy.engineering/ ) which is also open source and a lot more sophisticated. It has a voice assistant that can chat with Claude Code on your behalf in the mobile app. However, it wasn't very reliable, and there are other reasons to use Hap…
Also recommend Opencode which has `opencode web` built in. It's really impressive how good opencode web is. It's far more polished than I'd have expected from a free alternative!

I've been using git worktrees with Claude and it's pretty awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up91rbPEdVc Pair worktrees with the ralph-wiggum plugin and I can have Claude work for hours without needing any input: https://looking4offswitch.github.io/blog/2026/01/04/ralph-wi...
Worktrees took way too much setup and hand-holding for me, but https://conductor.build made it easy!
software is all about wrappers, isn't it? :)
conductor -> multiple claude codes/codexes -> multiple agents -> multiple tools/skills/sub-agents -> LLMs
Re: Claude Code On-the-Go
#160What kind of things people are building that can be almost completely automatically built like this?
I'm kind of confused too. I spend way more time testing and reviewing code than I could possibly keep up with 4 agents
