I have my very fast macbook pro at my desk in my office, and I use tmux and tailscale and git worktrees and I’ve built a notification setup like this author.

Thanks to tailscale and ssh I can vibecode on the go from my phone with this setup.

While it’s great to leave a task running, no matter what I do I can’t achieve the type of high quality work on the go that I can when I’m sitting at my desk.

For me working on a full SaaS.. I just can’t do quality work on my phone.

The only way I can do quality work is to sit at my desk where I’m focused on the work. To play with the result of a prompt, take copious notes, feed them back to the agent, not ship until the thing is polished to a shine. To feature flag the changes, review all code in excruciating detail as though it was written by a dyslexic intern, add all the metrics and logs one can think of (VictoriaMetrics), add user-behavior logging (Amplitude/Posthog) and monitor the thing like your livelihood depends on it. Because it’s a product and you have pride in your work.

All of that needs loads of screen real estate and a keyboard.

So I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Same here, I’m vibecoding a toy project where I never looked at the code from my phone, but I always seat for work. I’m using happy app and that’s good enough for now, I have the desktop in tailscale but I access it that way just for testing

For me, setup like this is not a replacement or even supplement the desk + high focus environment. My use case for these mobile vibecode setup is great though for small exploration/POC/learning/research type of work. Then I take the knowledge learned or any actual useful parts of code and incorporate into my work next time I sit back down at my desk.
