Struggled with it also, given up (for now). I thought coding was a solved problem Boris?

Until problems are a solved problem, I feel I'm ok.

I have little doubt where things are going, but the irony of the way they communicate versus the quality of their actual product is palpable. Claude Code (the product, not the underlying model) has been one of the buggiest, least polished products I have ever used. And it's not exactly rocket science to begin with. Maybe they should try writing slightly less than 100% of their code with AI?

More generally, Anthropic's reliability track record for a company which claims to have solved coding is astonishingly poor. Just look at their status page - https://status.claude.com/ - multiple severe incidents, every day. And that's to say nothing of the constant stream of bugs for simple behavior in the desktop app, Claude Code, their various IDE integrations, the tools they offer in the API, and so on.

Their models are so good that they make dealing with the rest all worth it. But if I were a non-research engineer at Anthropic, I wouldn't strut around gloating. I'd hide my head in a paper bag.

Exactly my experience, I know they vibe code features and that’s fine but it looks like they don’t do proper testing which is surprising to me because all you need bunch of cheap interns to some decent enough testing

Thats not true. Even for testing things, you need to do thoroughly now because standards are high.

Do you have an alias or something so that every time you open CC, tmux is running? How do you deal with multiple concurrent sessions of CC with this setup? How important is mosh? I wasn't able to get it set up the last time I tried... ran into a bunch of issues.

"tmux ls" shows you all the open tmux sessions

Could even use cc to check in on and/or "send-keys"

What wasn't working about mosh? Just install mosh and use mosh to connect

Yes. Doing the same. What is the advantage of this new feature? Tmux/Tailscale/Termius give you full control of your terminal. Or mainly to save the end user the hassle to set it up correctly?

It's this.

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

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…

id say claude code is designed for think then do - thats where its different from other tools!

i think it still pulls to do then think because you cant tell what the agent understood of what you asked it to do from that first think, until its actually produced something.

oh. i was excited for a native alternative to happy coder, or sshing to a tmux session, but i guess not:/

Oh lots of people will not be comfortable with tmux approach. The anthropic feature makes sense. But it's Max only and doesn't work well according to other comments.

What I posted "just works".

Can anyone recommend a tool that gives a 'mission control' overview of multiple agents, but also combines some basic project management functionality.

For example, maybe I have an idea for a feature and I want to spin up a new branch and have agents work on that. But then I get stuck or bored (I'm talking personal usage), so decide to park it. But maybe after a few days I have a shower thought and want to resume it.

The current method of listing sessions and resuming them can work, but you need to find the right session. If there is something that shows all the branches, a docs overview of what that feature it, and the current progress it would make this workflow a lot more effective. Plus I switch LLMs when I hit rate limits.

I'm probably going to just build it myself, but wondering if anyone has something that does this already.
