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.

Sorry didn't answer "how important is mosh?"

Depends- how good is your signal? Mosh has a great property that it buffers everything locally so there's no lag even if your connection sucks.

On ssh, every keystroke is a roundtrip

This is buggy to no end. Anthropic needs to slow down The daily “what broke and changed now” with claude code is wearing me out fast.

Claude Code is a good product, they should just keep on steadily improving it and improving the model. I am not sure why they are spraying in all directions like this..

I see it on myself too. It feels too irresistible to start adding more features to software you develop with LLM agents. Everything feels like just a few prompts and will be done in half an hour. Why not add this too? Just another sentence in the prompt. Next thing you know you have more features than you remember and the AI starts to have a really hard job keeping it all functional.

Coding with AI requires immense restraint and strong scope limits.

I have just today discovered zmx [1] which is like tmux but I always hated the tmux terminal emulation and how it hijacks scrolling, especially on Termius on my phone. It does session persistence but I think without the terminal emulator side of things, so scrolling works normally. Been testing it today with Claude Code and it seems to work quite well switching between my laptop and phone. [1] https://github.com/neur…

I also hate how tmux uses alt mode and can never remember all the shortcuts, copy paste is a PITA and just today I had to look up how to dump the scrollback buffer to a file. Named sessions without window management makes a lot more sense these days. Similarly, I'm not a fan of all the ANSI escape codes that CC uses to jump the cursor around and rewrite the display to look like a GUI. I prefer a TUI that doesn't mutate rows after writing them, that's what alt mode is for. CC often clears whatever was in the scrollback buffer before you opened it, it hides bracketed paste, and goes crazy sometimes when content overflows the window and I have to resize the terminal or get blasted with a wall of glitching characters--extra annoying if I'm working from a low bandwidth link. I develop my own agent framework and code agent, and while some features aren't as polished as CC, one of my explicit goals is to preserve the traditional CLI feel, like the python REPL (that's what it's based around). I'll give zmx a try tonight :)

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

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?

Still better than the codex or gemini cli though :)

This is an extremely clunky and buggy prerelease, so don't try to hot fix prod from the toilet without a different mobile frontend. Right now: - You can't interrupt Claude (you press stop and he keeps going!) - At best it stops but just keeps spinning - The UI disconnects intermittently - It disconnects if you switch to other parts of Claude - It can get stuck in plan mode - Introspection is poor - You see XML in the…

We’ve been building in this space for a while, and the issues listed here are exactly the hard parts: session connectivity, reconnection logic, multi-session UX, and keeping state in-sync across devices. Especially when it comes to long running tasks and the edge cases that show up in real use.

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

No there is a wide gap between good and bad testers. Great testers are worth their weight in gold and delight in ruining programmer's days all day long. IMO not a good place to skimp and a GREAT place to spend for talent.

Site note: all the great testers I've know when my employers had separate QA departments all ended up becoming programmers, either by studying on the side or through in-house mentorship. By all second hand accounts they've become great programmers too.

FWIW I just tried this to monitor / shepherd a PR while I was on the exercise bike and it was pretty seamless. Way easier than the tailscale/vibetunnel thing I got burnt out on last fall.

I was using the Claude app on my iPhone and claude code on a MacBook pro. PR is merged, still on the bike :)

It can help to recognize that tmux combines three kinds of functionality: 1. process persistence; 2. client attachment; 3. view layout. If you don't like how tmux works, there are alternatives. I prefer Zellij [1]. (It also can be informative to take a peek at dtach [2] and abduco [3].)

Because they're not trying to build a leading coding agent - they're racing to AGI. That means cramming everything and anything, from every angle because general intelligence is happening next year and that'll connect all the dots, leading to hypergrowth and complete industry dominance, across all domains.

Seriously, if you listen to Dario talk, it's non-stop how there's a tsunami coming, people have no idea of what's ahead, how general intelligence or superintelligence is right around the corner. But also, this is super dangerous, and only Anthropic can save us from a doomsday scenario.
