I'm still amazed that something as ubiquitous as "daemon mode" is still unreleased.

- Claude Chat: built like it's 1995, put business logic in the button click() handler. Switch to something else in in the UI and a long running process hard stops. Very Visual Basic shovelware.

- Claude Cowork: same but now we're smarter, if you change the current convo we don't stop the underlying long-running process. 21st century FTW!

- Claude Code: like chat, but in the CLI

- Claude Dispatch: an actual mobile client app, not the whole thing bundled together.

- Daemon mode: proper long-running background process, still unreleased.
