Running Claude Code from a phone just seems like a recipe for Alzheimer’s. Rest, then focus and build.

There are two types of software engineers: Those who do and then think, or those who think and then do. Claude Code seems to strictly be for the former, while typically the engineers who can maintain software long-term are the latter. Not sure if we have any LLM-tooling for the latter, seems to be more about how you use the tools we have available, but they're all pulling us to be "do first, think later" so unless yo…

I usually have conversations with Claude for clearing my mind and forming the scope of a project. I usually use voice transcription from Claude app to take notes and explore all my options.

Small UX note: the first time you run the command it only shows a URL. It's not until you run it again that you discover it also generates a QR code, which is actually the fastest way to open it on your phone. Would be nice if the QR showed up on the first run too, almost missed it.

You can also just open the app on your phone and go to the sidebar and click on Code and then you'll see the session at the top of your session list.

Oh nice, didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!

One could just as easily argue hunching over your desk staring at your computer has neurological implications.

My favorite way to vibe code is by voice while in the hot tub. Rest AND focus AND build.

Oh come on, now that I have a personal remote control already set up using hooks, specifically the PermissionRequest, and Home Assistant push notifications where I can allow or deny a specific action?

Same. When I can't be at my desk, my projects don't stop -- I just do the tasks that work well enough on the phone. Brainstorming, planning, etc. Or tasks that the agent can easily verify.

Having access to my local repository and my whole home folder is much easier than dealing with Claude or ChatGPT on the web. (Lots of manual markdown shuffling, passing in zipfiles of repositories, etc).

We've re-invented GNU screen in the most inefficient way imaginable

Well it DOES have less storage than a Nomad (hence lame), but this way you don't need to pay for a public IP address, or for a VPS to run Wireguard on, or for a commercial VPN solution, and then install a terminal emulator on your phone and set up SSH keys.

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:

Given the number of CC users I know who spend significant time on creating/iterating designs and specs before moving to the coding phase, I can tell you, your assumption is wrong. Check how different people actually use it before projecting your views.

I would definitely disagree.

Claude Code and similar agents help me execute experiments, prototypes and full designs based on ideas that I have been refining in my head for years, but never had the time or resources to implement.

They also help get me past design paralysis driven by overthinking.

Perhaps the difference between acceleration and slop is the experience to know what to keep, what to throw away, and what to keep refining.
