Remote Dev Setup: Using Jump Desktop and Cursor over SSH
HamelHusain · x · 2026-08-31
Hamel Husain shares a remote development workflow that avoids carrying a laptop:
- Uses Jump Desktop for Mac to access the remote machine.
- Uses Cursor's built-in remote editing feature over SSH, secured with Tailscale VPN.
- Prefers manual review for critical file edits rather than full agent automation, requiring a full desktop environment accessible via mobile.
