Something fun that I played with for a few minutes today: using Tailscale on my Mac Mini and my iPhone, plus Termius on my iPhone, to hack on my personal site on the go using Claude Code. It felt sort of… magical? Three simple and wonderful tools that I could set up in minutes.
I’d go into the details, but you can (of course) just point Claude at this post and it would tell you exactly what to do. It’s simple enough, in fact, that you could research the old fashioned way (google dot com) and be on your way in no time. I recommend the former because… you know.
We’re so spoiled for tools right now when it comes to building software. There’s never been a better time to express something in this medium than right now. I’m glad that I learned to program, and I still recommend learning how to program, but these tools are such a delightful addition to that skillset. You can use them when you want to, vs. when you need to—which (in my opinion) makes them more fun.
If you end up playing with this little Tailscale-Termius-Claude-Code stack, I’d love to hear about it, and I’d especially love to hear if you end up using it for things other than building software. Claude Code, it turns out, isn’t the best name. You can use it for so much more than code.
