alt Hacker NewsI am still trying to understand how installing Tailscale and Claude Code then connecting to your home network externally and opening a mobile terminal on your phone is a novel idea that requires a full Github writeup.
So, I do this when I am sitting on the couch and too lazy to boot up my laptop that I normally do work on, but it never gets much further than updating, pulling or pushing one or two containers, or more times than not trying to remember what port AI have something on so I can connect the companion app to it.
It's not a bad idea in full, but "death coding" is a ridiculous notion.

I’m equally surprised to see these posts pop up everywhere on X, GitHub and now also HN. Am I that old that SSHing into a server through a VPN is such a novel concept nowadays?
Why would it have to be novel? We now have a full interesting discussion about vibe coding on phones thanks to this GitHub writehub that we wouldn't have had otherwise.
I haven't set up a vibe coding phone environment, nothing has stopped me at all as I agree it is really simple/"basic", but this post made me actually go do it.
There is an infamous "Dropbox comment" on HN that reads the same way as this comment. No idea is new, and novelty is almost never the point. I had seen people do similar things in the past but never approached it myself. Here is someone that has done the thinking for me and put it out there for free. I appreciate that.
