Running your dev process on a remote machine — not your laptop — is the future, and it's already becoming popular.

2:04be running your dev process on a machine that is maybe not your main machine or your laptop. And this is something that is going to become more popular. It's already becoming popular. You see memes about people not shutting their laptops. You see software that is written to specifically prevent your computer from going to sleep when you close it because we end up having these work processes that are now detached from when we are

2:33interacting with it. Like you prompt an agent to do something, you want to be able to close your laptop and have that continue working, right? So, one, you can now close your laptop, process can be running the whole time while you are not necessarily at your machine, so that's a pro here. Two, better battery life cuz you're not running 8,000 different things [snorts] on your laptop [laughter] at all times.

2:58>> Let me tell you the amount of times I've had to reboot my computer in the last like 6 months. Unbelievable. It's just all these little tattered ends, installing endless new apps to try, things are running in the background. I'm I'm ready just to start over, but I a lot of it is due to to having having all these agents running on my computer, and they have just child

The latest version of macOS West, the beta, has an a new checkbox in settings that is reboot after a power fault. So, if like there's a power fault and you're away from your remote machine, it's going to going to reboot itself, which you couldn't do before. Like you could maybe back in the day,

3:44but they took it out at some point. So, it's specifically I would be so annoyed if I was on a trip or something, and even before I ran my dev process on this this other computer, I ran my Plex server. And so we'd be like out of the country and trying to access the Plex server and it would be down. You'd be like, "Oh, come on." You know.

4:01So now >> a thing before? So if you had like a a power fault, then it would just not reboot. You had to physically press the button. >> Yes, very much just >> Yes, unbelievable indeed. So better battery life, you can close your laptop actually. Another one is you can access these processes from any machine and in this case we'll be talking about using Tailscale to do so,
