When you say "code on your phone" ... you don't mean what I think you mean do you? Like, are you actually using your phone to make code commits?

Yes, you can do that with Claude Code.

Tell it what to do.

Commit, push to origin, review on GitHub.

Tell it to make changes, amend the commit, push --force-with-lease.

I'm attempting to make a memory safe language like Rust but with a substantially lower learning curve and added safety (but non-zero cost abstractions) fully with AI, almost entirely from my phone, commuting, getting coffee, walking the dog, between sets at the gym, replacing doom scrolling before bed and during lunch, etc.

Mostly to test how much LLMs can actually scale development.

Depending on how long it takes them to clean up some architectural slop in the MIR lowering phase, the results could either be very impressive or not.

From a purely cost basis perspective, it's hard to argue they aren't killing it.

But from a multiplier perspective, it's up in the air how great they are.

It's proven to be a really nice experiment, because much of what I wanted to solve with a language is the problems inherent to LLM development.

So at the self hosting phase, I get a great opportunity to see if the language can actually deliver on what I dream for.

You review the code on github also from your phone?

#1 -> part of scaling is you can't review every single line of code.

LLMs don't really scale if you're still the bottlneck, or they only scale as much as you reviewing every line of code - that's not that much scaling...

So I try to only review certain parts, like making sure they aren't changing tests to allow architecturally broken code to slip through (because they regularly try, even when given explicit instructions not to). Or if I'm watching them make changes on my phone and see that they are clearly doing the exact opposite of what they're supposed to be doing (regularly if I'm watching).

#2 -> if commits are small, GitHub's setup is good enough that you can review code on your phone.

#3 -> if they're huge, I can just review on my laptop at lunch or something.

Theoretically, all of this can be solved easily with orchestration and require minimal oversight.

If you're using LLMs to write code and you're carefully reviewing every line with a jade-handled magnifying glass, you're not really scaling - at least to the degree I'm interested in.

> LLMs don't really scale if you're still the bottlneck

This only works if there's no consequences if your code breaks. In the eyes of other humans you're responsible for what you commit. No amount of "scaling" will change that.
