+# Build From My Phone In Cloud Environments
+
+I mostly use Claude Code from a terminal with the `claude` CLI. Everything is
+running on my machine (except the inference). The codebase is already there, the
+feature branch is already in flight, all my tools and dotfiles are installed,
+the dev server or container VMs are running, etc. It's the closest to how I
+already worked before coding harnesses and allows me to seamlessly flow between
+agentic code, review, making my own edits, and so forth.
+
+However, I've been finding it pretty satisfying to open _Claude Code_ either in
+the MacOS app or iOS app, connect a GitHub repo, and then ask for a quick
+feature landed as a PR.
+
+This flow uses [Claude in the
+Cloud](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web) to boot up a
+development environment, pull down your codebase, create a branch, build a
+feature, run tests, boot the app, do all the different explorations and checks
+that `claude` typically does, and eventually land a PR back on GitHub.
+
+What I find particularly remarkable about this flow is that this _cloud session_
+is effectively synced across any device where I'm using Claude. So while I'm on
+the train home from the gym, I open the Claude iOS app, pick my repo, and
+describe a feature. By the time I get home, I open Claude.app on my computer
+where I can skim through the chat summary, view the diff, and then suggest next
+steps or jump to the PR on GitHub.
+
+I'm finding this workflow particularly exciting for side projects because I can
+kick of feature experiments from anywhere when the idea comes to me.
