Why I run Claude on a remote server: Points: 1 # Comments: 0

What happened

language models. (86 words) - Wait, is this intro 1? Yes, "what happened". Let's check the word count of this paragraph. It's 86 words. Let's make it a bit shorter if we want to stay under 900 total, or keep it.

How it works

* Intro 2 (What this piece covers and who it is for):

Why it matters

They are waiting for Claude, or Codex, or whatever AI system they use to finish the session they started (thinking it will take 5 minutes). I did it at dinner with family and investors, I tried on an airplane (but the internet was shit and I didn't get anything done), I even did it on a beach in Australia - the sand was not fun.

Who is affected

I had to keep the laptop open enough for the computer to continue working but closed enough for me to be able to carry it and "enjoy" my "free" time. For those who ask why I didn't use Claude on remote control: you needed the laptop to stay open and connected, you can't start new sessions, and it still tied the actual work to my laptop, which was exactly what I was trying to get away from (and it sucks).

What to watch next

So I needed a better solution, because working locally is what we were doing at Quidkey, and it stopped being enough a while ago. See the full write-up from HN Claude/Codex/Fable via the source link for quotes and complete context.
