All posts tagged Remote Work - thoughts on AI-first development, staff engineering, and building with Claude Code.
A month working remotely from Bratislava - a high-rise flat on the Danube, patchy wifi, a cold in week one, and one of my more productive months at work. Also the month my biggest travel worry quietly came true.
At the end of my Split writeup I said the next iteration of this lifestyle wasn't a nicer office on the road - it was no office. cc-remote is the first real step: a Claude-branded Android chat client driving persistent Claude Code sessions in tmux on a Raspberry Pi 5, over Tailscale. Full-fat Claude Code, on my phone, no laptop required.
30 days working remotely from Kastela, on the Dalmatian coast just outside Split. A private villa with a roof terrace, calm water minutes away, and a workflow that mostly held up - but also started giving me ideas about how to untether even further from the desk.
A month of remote work from Rome - where world-class history is a 20-minute walk from your desk, but the local cafes want you in and out. Here's how the AI-first workflow held up against API rate limits and Italian work culture.
28 days working remotely from Lisbon - how the AI-first manager pattern, a travel router, and a good routine made it one of my most productive months yet.
The manager/agent pattern is inherently async - spawn work, go live your life, come back to results. AI-first development and the nomad lifestyle are a natural fit.
A practical, opinionated guide to the tools, hardware, and workflows that actually matter for remote engineering in 2026. Less than you think, better than you'd expect.
