alt Hacker NewsI used Claude Code in tmux since January until August.
Now I am 100% in the ChatGPT desktop app, because it felt I am doing way too much tinkering amd maintenance of my setup instead of doing real work.
Retrospectively, it feels tmux was right choice early this year as the alternatives just weren’t there. It was also fascinating and enjoyable building own workflow from the primitives and I did learn a lot, but the learning has plateued and what was left was mostly chore.
tmux is still nice for remote work And it's even nicer when you want to have a different harnesses communicate with each other. I typically have a group of them working on the same thing, and typically it is Codex, Claude Code, and Pi. Sometimes I include agy if I need some Google specific capability, and it's very easy for them to communicate. I basically evolved something like a poor man's version of Claude Code's new projects But the nice thing is that I can have different coding harnesses other than cc working on a specific tasks.
