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…
Can you explain more about the vm-start/vm-stop? I don't understand why you start/halt the VM and wait for Tailscale, you could just keep it running.
I started with a beefy VM to make sure I could ramp up without hitting slowdowns, but I'm planning to migrate to an Intel NUC running Proxmox at home soon.

how do you manage to review code without running said apps or testing them, sure the code might look correct, but doesn't mean whatever issue / feature works or the bug is actually fixed
But honestly - if it needs serious testing, I wait until I'm at my desk. The phone workflow is best for "let Claude run while I'm out" rather than deep debugging.

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

it would. Some options why it should happen: 1. Assuming Elon is curious person, he will still build it out of curiosity. 2. Assuming Elon is not curios person, just power hungry, he will probably think its not worth building it, but someone else who is curious will build it eventually. This is even better, because when power hungry person owns such thing, they might use it for bad things as well (e.g. to gain more p…
Is the reason NASA couldn’t build reusable rockets because they didn’t have enough money? Honest question?.

> we live under a system that is arranged for the sole benefit of the owners of capital, and have been convinced that this is an immutable state of affairs What alternative do you propose?
I would like to propose a cap on net worth. Realistically, if you have 300M, you and your direct family are settled for life. So, I want to propose 1B cap on net worth, if its more than that for 12 months straight, surplus goes to government, if your net worth is down after that, government obliges to return it partially to make it to 1B. People, who are eager building things and innovating, will keep building regard…
It seems to me that if one tried to actually spend those credits we'd simply get inflation. Prices for roads, food etc. would just go up.
We definitely want to work on inequality, but I think numbers above 1B net worth are just weird quirks of the system. Musk is powerful because he's powerful, the number is just a reflection of that. Keeping his number below some arbitrary threshold isn't going to combat his power.
We need to tackle the problem head on: we need to stop individuals from amassing so much power. We get lost in this stupid abstraction called money. It's not what matters.

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,…

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.
I haven't missed planning mode myself. I tend to tell it "write a detailed plan first in a file called spec.md for me to review", then use that as the ongoing plan. I like that it ends up in the repo as it means it survives compaction or lets me start a fresh session entirely.
I just sent a feature request in to Anthropic to add a mobile app to essentially what's been constructed here. I love that as we go through our GenAI development journey, we're all finding success in the same patterns.
They already have - the Claude app on mobile (maybe iOS-only?) has a Code section, which is a frontend for https://claude.ai/code
I am now never going to sleep and may never have a girlfriend again.
The drug of "productivity" is a bad one to throw at a nearly retired enterprise architect.
