This is a pretty sophisticated setup. I particularly like how it uses Tailscale. I've been using the simpler but not as flexible alternative: I'm running Claude Code for web (Anthropic's version of Codex Cloud) via the Claude iPhone app, with an environment I created called "Everything" which allows all network access. (This is moderately unsafe if you're working with private source code or environment variables cont…

I don't like claude code web due to its lack of planning mode. I found the result is often lackluster compare to claude code cli. My current setup: Tailscale + Terminus(ipad) + home machine(code base) Need to look into how to work on multiple features at the same time next.

The lack of Plan Mode is puzzling, I'm sure they must get to it at some point. But until then it CAN still plan, you just have to ask it to write a plan and not write code yet.

Author here! Thanks for checking it out. On the $210/month VM cost - fair point. For me it's worth it because I'm running multiple parallel agents throughout the day, but you could definitely do this cheaper with a smaller instance or spot pricing. The real bottleneck isn't typing on mobile - it's reviewing the output. I've found 2-3 parallel agents is my sweet spot before I can't keep up with reviewing PRs. Git work…

A dedicated OVH or Hetzner box would be faster and cheaper even when on all the time :)

The same but less rigged would be a good start. I feel like people ask your question as a gotcha because they can't wrap their head around a system more nuanced than "cancerous capitalism" or "potato famine communism" Something like we had in advanced western europe and the US between ww2 and the late 70s seemed much more balanced while not requiring a complete system change. Most people would be fine if we sprinkled…

Perceived success of 1950s and 1960s does apply to non-white people, women or countries destroyed by war.

And it still mostly doesn't so it's not really a good argument. Meanwhile the share of women in the workforce more than doubled but households' purchasing power isn't even as high as back then when it comes to the basics like cars/energy/housing, if anything it's down quite a bit.

We should unite, not fight about who's whitest, XYZ gender or a minority, you'll always find someone who has it better or worse than you, what matter is the average is going down, while back then it was going up, the rest is mostly noise.

There's an X thread where Boris Cherny (creator of Claude Code) shows his workflow of running 5 CC agents in the terminal using 5 tabs while running 10-15 instances of CC on the web [1] and how he moves projects from the terminal to the web and vice versa.

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!

Sadly only allows sign up with Github.

Sounds like you need a foldable phone!

You are asking me about implementation difficulty, difficult implementation doesn't mean idea is not worth it. One example: * 300k vs 300M - doesn't matter if I said 100M, 200M, 550M, if you think 300M is not enough for you and your family to afford anything, not sure how other people are surviving for even less. Here is why I think this is good: 1. Ambitious people will still be ambitious, its rare some genius kid s…

> You are asking me about implementation difficulty, difficult implementation doesn't mean idea is not worth it. I can agree with that idea, to an extent. If something is near impossible (not saying this is), then it does become not worth it. The other questions the parent posed are more interesting to me: > How would you determine the worth of rare, illiquid or intangibles? What about wealth held in trusts or compan…

> I can agree with that idea, to an extent. If something is near impossible (not saying this is), then it does become not worth it.

FATCA law makes this very possible in the US.

> How do you tax that? The government can't take one third of the business, at least not without a lot of issues (in business dealings and individual rights)

I would say that the government can and should and simply be a passive share holder with no voting rights.

This technology should be liberatory, and allow us all to work less while enjoying the same standard of living. We've all contributed in its development by creating the whole corpus of the internet, without which it could never have been bootstrapped. The only reason we can't expect this is that we live under a system that is arranged for the sole benefit of the owners of capital, and have been convinced that this is…

Do the owners of capital work less?

The numbers of hours that they work relative to the average wage laborer bears absolutely no relationship to whether they are the beneficiaries of an exploitative socio-economic arrangement. But they all certainly work much less than the laborers in the most precarious positions who are forced to work multiple gig economy jobs to make ends meet, yes.
