Dev Runs Coding Agent Remotely From Phone, Workflow Transformed
curious_vii · x · 2026-09-21
A developer shares building a "remote pod/VM" coding agent harness with a passable mobile experience as an internal dev tool.
- Self-described "permission maximalist" who spent time early on auth provisioning so every tool and MCP would be available to the remote agent as if on a laptop.
- Now primarily does software engineering by voice-inputting (wispr) into the phone.
- Says it changed everything about day-to-day work—task sets and behaviors are wildly different.
- Predicts it will be wild if people shift from "chat" prompting for answers to prompting for execution.
