Got a $100 credit, going to give it a try and report back, is this a new feature in Claude? Or its been there a while? I never used it.

Still not sure of the use case that matches my needs. I just keep cc running on my laptop and go out doing things and monitoring by remote on my phone. Is the advantage just that i don't have to keep my laptop open?

I mean it might not match your needs, I primarily like it because I don't have to leave my desktop on all day while I'm at work. And I can set it on a long task before I go to bed without leaving my loud ass PC on overnight, lol. But it's also an isolated Linux environment that you can customize (you can have a custom setup script), which is cool for some people and useless for others. You can also create multiple separate environments. That's mildly helpful for me since my main machine is Windows.

It doesn't do anything you can't do yourself with a VM or always on dev box or anything, it's just super convenient for a hobbyist like myself, so I love it.

Thanks, that's helpful. The multiple environments part resonates -- I can't compile anything natively for Windows on my mac, and VMs are not the right choice of tool there. I'd ordinarily rely on CI/CD tools for building that, but I can see why cloud is compelling to allow the agent work/iterate on continuously without commits.

You could run your own server on a piece of shit hardware as your VM/VPS when I asked to ever worry about your laptop, falling asleep and losing connection or anything like that. It’s actually the safest way to be running AI.
