Steve Yegge: Rex Alpha Makes 20+ Claude Code Sessions Feel Local From a Hotel Laptop
Steve_Yegge · x · 2026-10-09
Steve Yegge predicts Mitchell Hashimoto's new product Rex (in alpha) will 'take over the world.' His old stack — 20+ Claude Code sessions inside tmux inside emacs inside mosh inside ghostty, five terminal layers — is painful remotely with broken copy/paste and laggy redraws. In Rex alpha from a hotel room, the same stack 'feels local' and is 'smoking fast.' He discloses no affiliation with the team.
