Earlier quoted context omitted.

Right, that's the "most inefficient way possible" (though personally I disagree, there are more inefficient ways to be found).

You could put the transport protocol on the blockchain, I suppose

You are making me more creative.

we can upload snapshot of zip files to blockchain, then notify customer via servers

Running Claude Code from a phone just seems like a recipe for Alzheimer’s. Rest, then focus and build.

On the other hand, you lose a lot of time if you step away from a session and it gets stuck asking for permission to do something simple.

Oh no! Anyway.

On Android app it needs Claude GitHub connection with scope to act on my behalf! Otherwise it won't work in the app. Really do NOT like that! Why does the remote control needs that? For what? I rather use the common developer tools like termux or mosh etc. on a phone if I need that functionality.

Make a throwaway GitHub account just for it and give it PR access to your private repos.

Small UX note: the first time you run the command it only shows a URL. It's not until you run it again that you discover it also generates a QR code, which is actually the fastest way to open it on your phone. Would be nice if the QR showed up on the first run too, almost missed it.

You can also just open the app on your phone and go to the sidebar and click on Code and then you'll see the session at the top of your session list.

There are two types of software engineers: Those who do and then think, or those who think and then do. Claude Code seems to strictly be for the former, while typically the engineers who can maintain software long-term are the latter. Not sure if we have any LLM-tooling for the latter, seems to be more about how you use the tools we have available, but they're all pulling us to be "do first, think later" so unless yo…

This isn't a binary thing - even if you prefer to build maintainable systems very often the trade-off is - you don't ship in time and there's no long term - the project gets scrapped.

So even if it comes at the expense of long term maintainability - everyone should have this in their toolbox.

I agree in your basic framing but not your conclusion. Met plenty of do-ers before thinkers that are self-aware enough to also maintain software longterm.

I guess this is Anthropic's early version of a "claw"?

Doesn't have to be. Before OpenClaw was a thing, people were experimenting with setups to allow them to drive their agent remotely.

And of course, OpenClaw is built to be a very generalist agent with a chat interface - same effective outcome as remotely controlling an AI harness, but not exactly what everyone wants.

I find it often helps me to see a feature before I evaluate if it was really a good idea in the first place. This is my failing--but one thing I like about Claude is that it's now possible to just try stuff and throw away whatever doesn't work out.
