Walking With Claude
I’ve noticed that since I started my journey into AI-driven software development, I’ve almost entirely stopped going for long walks for exercise. Some of this was the cold weather, but most of it was the dopamine.
“Just one more feature.”
I always wanted to stay close to my machine, because it would regularly ask me for permissions, or a clarifying question, and I didn’t want to waste the time it might wait for.
I’ve been telling myself for months that I should figure out how to configure my machine to allow remote access from my phone. That way, I could kick off new features from the couch, from the car, or even on a walk.
So I spent some time last weekend doing some research to see how others had approached this problem. And that’s when I discovered Claude’s “/remote-control” feature that had literally only been released 4 days earlier.
A video makes a much better illustration of how this works, click the image below to see it.
So if I can get a 2 or 3 mile walk in, while also making progress developing software? Game changed.
