Worth noting that this is currently broken for a number of users, I'm on a Max plan and I get the message "Error: Remote Control is not enabled for your account. Contact your administrator" which isn't helpful since I'm my administrator and ... this gets recursive quickly. There's an open issue on github for it: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/28098

Re: Claude Code Remote Control
#322Weird 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.

I'm willing to bet most of their libraries are definitely vibe coded. I'm using the claude-agent-sdk and there are quite a few bugs and some weird design decisions. And looking through the actual python code it's definitely not what I would classify 'best practice'. Bunch of imports in functions, switching on strings instead of enums, etc. I had to downgrade to an earlier release because an update introduced a regres…
I think they are betting that any of this code is transient and not worth too much effort because once Opus 5 is traimed, they can just ask it to refactor and fix everything and improve code quality enough so that things don't fall apart while adding more features, and when opus 5.5 comes out it will be able to clean up after opus 5. And so on. They don't expect these codebase to be long lived and worth the time inve…

I'm still doing this. Is there a better setup? It's already very convenient and secure.
I'm still doing this, too! The only thing I added was setting up notifications on my local machine using hooks in Claude Code (using a reverse ssh tunnel from my local machine to a VPS). As for fancier setups, I keep bookmarking them, but haven't gotten around to trying any of them, yet.

#325Posted elsewhere but will copy here. Been doing this for a while. - - - get tailscale (free) and join on both devices install tmux get an ios/android terminal (echo / termius) enable "remote login" if on mac (disable on public wifi) mosh/ssh into computer now you can do tmux then claude / codex / w/e on either device and reconnect freely via tmux ls and tmux attach -t - - - You can name tmux and resume by name via tm…

But they are burning billions. Why worry about a few millions for a bunch of 10x developers that fix the UI issues?

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?

have you gotten a terminal interface on your phone to be acceptably usable? I haven't - not without a real keyboard attached in any case. too many parts of the UX are designed for a true keyboard.
take a look at opencode, it doesn't even have to be a terminal anymore to command your terminal from whatever device you are using
Re: Claude Code Remote Control
#329There's https://happy.engineering/ which already does this with many fewer bugs and supports codex.
A fork named Happier looks promising, but is alpha-stage and is also a mystery-meat vibe-coded security roulette.

Nice. What other fancier setups have you seen? I haven’t even come across any potential better alternative. Been playing around with tailscale’s new aperture service too which is awesome as well.

I see these kinds of repos and projects being posted on Reddit all the time. I just never get around to trying them :(
