There's https://happy.engineering/ which already does this with many fewer bugs and supports codex.

Set it up and never managed to have it work. Only thing it did was renaming my sessions on my main cc instance. Mobile did nothing, not even an error message.

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?

What bugs have you encountered? It's been a smooth experience for me.

Weird all these companies struggle so much to support remote services, ssh has been working for me pretty seamlessly for like the 20 years I've been using it and has allowed me to remote-control any computer I own with relatively reliable authentication (with some hiccups that tend to be patched pretty rapidly when found) throughout that entire period. I hear tell it worked even before I was using computers professio…

SSHing into a terminal with your phone is terrible UX. Very low bandwidth. Voice input into a native app is not. We are not talking about fine grained control of your system by running explicit commands. We are talking about programming in plain English.

Not a big exactly but if pip doesn’t work it goes straight to pip —break-system instead of realizing it needs a venv

Also if a prisma migration fails it will say “this is dev it’s ok to erase the database” before rerunning the command with —accept-data-loss

Given how many projects I've seen that run prisma migrations on prod from their local CLI instead of CI...

This scares me.

I am constantly amazed how developers went hard for claude-code when there were and are so many better implementations of the same idea. It's also a tool that has a ton of telemetry, doesn't take advantage of the OS sandbox, and has so many tiny little patch updates that my company has become overworked trying to manage this. Its worst feature (to me at least), is the, "CLAUDE.md"s sprinkled all over, everywhere in o…

Sometimes the agent (any agent, not just Claude — cursor, codex) would miss a rule or skill that is listed in AGENTS.md or Claude.md and I'm like "why did you miss this skill, it's in this file" and it's like "oh! I didn't see it there. Next time, reference the skill or AGENTS.md and I'll pick it up!"

Like, isn't the whole point of those files to not have to constantly reference them??

It is solved in his org. He never promised quality software, though. You get a buggy electron app and they get billions in valuation. Clearly no one values quality anymore. 1000% yolo

Why have quality when agents can just fix issues when other agents encounter them?

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.

I don't think you need any qualifications to run the app and realize that it doesn't run.

This is the bar we're at now.

One more step closer to a closed source system. I think their objective is to move all your code on their systems so you can only modify the code through their AI so they have a moat and will be difficult to move away. They will “guard” your source code and you’ll never see it. Imagine if tomorrow they make a 10x smarter AI, but they say: you can only use if you upload your source code to us and you can’t see anymore…

Seems like it could be problematic in the future since code can't be fixed by humans so the only source of future code for training is unedited Claudeslop.

Just pay another few thousands to fix that bug. When all devs are gone and you only have AI, a small bug to fix will be charged at premium rates by Claude.

He will say: the cost of this big is costing you 100k a year. We will fix for 10k one time fee.

Yeah, the only thing keeping them from doing that is that the open weight free models are just as good. I wonder if they would take away your ability to prompt, maybe only letting you run agentically.

I have to agree. Also we still have alternatives. But I’m sure ALL of them are dreaming of having a captive audience/source code that only their AI can modify. It’s the ultimate power
