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!

I delayed adopting conductor because I had my own worktree + pr wrappers around cc but I tried it over the holidays and wow. The combination of claude + codex + conductor + cc on the web and claude in github can be so insanely productive.

I spend most of my time updating the memory files and reviewing code and just letting a ton of tasks run in parallel

I've been working on something similar: https://github.com/shepherdjerred/monorepo/tree/main/package... Essentially you run a server on some machine. Sessions are created in Docker containers, K8s pods, or via Zellij (an app similar to tmux). You can: - Directly attach to sessions via Docker attach (built-in via a TUI). You get a normal Claude Code experience, but multiplexed. The switcher/UI shows you the status of…

Looks super nice, will take it for a spin.

Please give any feedback! Note it has no auth yet and binds to all network interfaces by default, so you shouldn’t run on an untrusted network

I don't think that's possible to analyze for most technologies. How could we determine the effect of, say, OLED technology specifically on workers' real wages across the economy? Even doing the same for a particular seller's margin, say LG, would be difficult and wouldn't tell the full story. If you have an idea of how to do that for something let me know.

Well, that's part of the problem isn't it? Do we just assume the worst, or what's the solution?

We'd probably want to use a measure of worker productivity itself as a proxy for technological improvements and look at various measures like real wages in relation to it rather than restricting our analysis to any one technology.

> Port allocation is hash-based—deterministic from branch name, no conflicts:

> hash_val = sum(ord(c) for c in branch_name)

> django_port = 8001 + (hash_val % 99)

> Six agents, six features, one phone.

What do you mean, no conflicts? The probability of a collision with six branches and 99 ports slots is ~14% assuming optimal hashing (which this decidedly isn't).

An alternative might be to start up a VM on exe.dev. Supposedly, mobile access works out of the box [1].

I've not tried that myself since I've only been using it from my laptop, but I do prefer chatting with their coding agent in a browser tab to using Claude Code in a terminal window.

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…

I remember hearing similar criticisms of continuous delivery. On one end of the spectrum people who had to wait months to get changes out now got them out relatively quickly. On the other end of the spectrum, some person was going to push changes at midnight.

A decade on forward I've never actually worked at a shop that at scale did continuous delivery in its truest sense where changes go straight to production. Simply, nothing beats a human in the loop; it's always about balancing the costs of automation and a lower barrier to entry. I imagine this kind of thing, if it ever actually takes hold and can be adopted by a larger subset of engineers, will follow a similar path.

Long way of saying, I don't think you're Chicken Little but also don't start breathing into a bag just yet.

What tool do you use, which languages? Could you give us an example of something you’ve built and how you did it 25 times faster?

Using Claude code Pro with a maxed subscription and ChatGPT Codex with the business subscription. The code is written in Dart and never wrote a line of DART in my life, I'm a veteran expert around Java, C++. The reason for choosing DART is simply because it is way readier for multi-platform contexts than Java/C++. The same code base now runs on Linux, Android, iOS, OSX, Windows and Web (as static HTML). Plus the comp…

Would you describe this product as a whole application suite (blogging, calendar, commerce) plus its own backend infrastructure that is capable of serving these apps to the public internet and functioning offline via ad-hoc wireless peer-to-peer, with a cryptographic layer providing identity, security and censorship resistance, and that runs on phone, laptop or raspberry pi?

Quite ambitious.

Is this an LLM hallucinating? taking a break from coding? or leaking your personal desktop session?

No thanks. I'm so glad I'm getting closer to retirement age. From a young age, all I wanted to do was program computers. _I_ wanted to do it. Not have some tool do it for me. There's no fun or interest or ... anything that comes from that. I want to solve the problems. I want to write the code. It's what I am good at and it's incredibly enjoyable to me. Why the fuck would I ever give that up?

But, the world is changing. Y'all can have it... in a few short years. ;)

Jules and GitHub Copilot Agent suffice for similar workflows with less setup. I've not tried Claude Code for Web but assume it would be similar. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web

Copilot Agent and Claude Code use their own sandbox, which requires less setup but is also quite limited. With your own cloud setup, agents can perform better end to end testing, including database dependencies and specific tool calls.
