Remote Coding Agents

Wes and Scott break down every way to run coding agents away from your laptop, from Cursor cloud agents and Claude Code to OpenCode Web on a Tailscale network and an old MacBook under the desk. Plus web search costs, Sentry auto-fixing errors, and the eternal port 3007 problem.

Scott and Wes break down the world of remote coding agents — what they are, why you'd want one, and all the different ways you can run them, from Cursor Cloud and Claude Code to an old laptop sitting on your floor. They cover real-world use cases, environment setup, API key management, and the wild variety of interfaces that let agents work while you sleep.
