Write code, close the lid, still mid-build somewhere else. Working on the part where that shouldn't be weird.

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

Closed the lid on the train and opened it again at the office. The socket died, the session didn't, and the build had run all the way to the end with nothing connected to it.

That's the part I was actually trying to build. https://t.co/HgU1ImOpfW

@MikeLeiterDev governance is the polite word for it. in practice it is one person with several windows open working out which one stopped needing them and which one has been stuck for an hour

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@brianmixes the honest answer is whichever one went quiet. the loud ones are fine, it is the silent one that has been stuck for forty minutes waiting on a yes

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@stretchcloud checkpoints is the one on that list nobody benchmarks. every harness number is a single run measured to completion, and none of them cover what happens when the person walks away in the middle and comes back

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@bpizzacalla worth knowing the transcripts are already on disk too. ~/.claude/projects keeps one .jsonl per session, so anything it told you three hours ago is still there without asking it to repeat

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@plsoulie turns out the same screen is the hard part with coding agents. six running and the only view worth having is the two that need you. that is what I have been building, TermLink

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@ScottShapiroUXD and the spiral only looks like a spiral in the log. commit three feels like progress at the time, it is on the way back that the shape shows up

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@plsoulie never browsed zillow or craigslist is the line that matters. the dashboard was not showing you the work, it was showing you the decisions, which is a much smaller screen

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@clerigo which limits did you run into? everyone seems to hit a different one and nobody has written the list down anywhere

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@Mechramc yeah, all of them or none. the one you skip is the one with the surprise in it

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@yesprasad26 @typescript asking the type checker instead of grepping imports is the call that makes it worth running. barrel files are exactly where the regex answer stops being true

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@Mechramc that is the shift though. it stops being something you remember to run and becomes something the repo hands the agent

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@jackfriks @AdamHoltererer @benjaminshafii If you have hit this, which way do you go? Start a fresh session and re-explain, or wait until you are back at the desk?

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

Your Claude Code session is still running on the desktop. Getting back into that exact session from a phone is where it falls apart.

[Bert Shim @bert_programmer]

@jackfriks @AdamHoltererer @benjaminshafii So I have been building TermLink. The session stays on the machine that has the code and I open that same one from whatever browser is in front of me. Six or seven at a time lately, some Claude Code and some Codex.
