✨ I think I've been coding almost solely on my VPS with Claude Code for almost a year now
All I can say it's just fantastic:
- no need to keep laptop open ever
- no laptop battery drain
- can switch to phone or any other device you like whenever you want to continue (like when you're outside)
- it just keeps going all night while you sleep (esp with /goal)
- you can start hacky projects from scratch and go live in seconds because you're already on the server which is great to ship things and get it used by people fast (not stuck on your local laptop webserver)
- it just feels like living in the future
I used to code on my laptop, test locally, then push to GitHub, then it auto pulled and deploy to production, that'd take me ~1 minute to get a new feature out
But then when I bought a new Mac Book Pro a few years ago I was too lazy to install a local Nginx environment, so I just started pushing to prod and everything went fine, and I sped up deploying to about 3 seconds from laptop to server, which people called me crazy for too
But now with Claude Code on my VPS in the last year, it just live edits on my production server, which sounds like it should go wrong but it just doesn't, it's very careful and only twice in 12 months messed up which meant my site didn't load for 10 seconds which is OK
If I wasn't working solo, like at a big company, I' think I'd recommend the same workflow but with a staging server, so it wouldn't touch production, for safety and regulatory reasons etc. but for me it's fine
I agree with @theo completely, it's clear to me this is where it's going, also seeing @karpathy with Claude moving to the cloud (via Slack etc), I think AI "agents" and AI coding will operate on servers / from the cloud first
P.S. I have 3-2-1 backups, multiple on-site and off-site backups which you should also even if you wouldn't code with AI, safety first!
I really like @elevenlabs's interactive landing page
My favorite landing pages are the ones that drop you straight into the application and let you use it, you barely see that though
I think it makes sense because why would you even need to sell to a customer with a big sales-y landing page if your product is impressive enough to convince them to buy it just by using it?
ElevenLabs does a great mix of being able to actually use all the basic features as a demo while still being a traditional landing page
This is easier with sites like Nomad List, because people just browse cities and it doesn't cost me much, but it's much harder to do this with AI apps because they cost a lot of money for every time you generate something (like photo, audio or text).
One idea I had for Photo AI is to pre-generate a lot of combos of photos then on the landing page make a little demo and let them choose default models (like white man, black woman, etc.) and prompts etc. Then I just pre-gen all those combinations (like 10,000 pics, maybe $100) and I can have a demo on the landing page
Unaffiliated with ElevenLabs btw, just like the website!
