Coding from my phone on the bus — powered by a Mac mini at home

Lately, I ve been coding during my bus rides using Codex and Claude Code on my phone. Both connect remotely to the Mac mini sitting at home, so I can ask the agents to implement features, inspect errors, run tests, or make small fixes without opening a laptop. It s obviously not ideal for long manual coding sessions, but for reviewing changes and directing AI agents, mobile works surprisingly well. The Mac mini feels perfect for this setup. It s quiet, power-efficient, and can stay online 24/7 without me worrying too much about electricity or heat. Basically, it has become my personal remote development server. I can start a task while waiting for the bus, check the result during the ride, and often have a finished change ready before I arrive. Has anyone else built a similar mobile coding workflow? What tools do you use to connect to your machine at home?

I've built a production app without ever touching a laptop.

Six weeks in, and I still haven't touched a desktop. Everything architecture decisions, debugging, database migrations, the whole thing happens through a phone screen and an AI agent doing the actual typing.

What's strange is how different the failure modes are from what I expected. I thought the hard part would be not knowing how to code. It wasn't. The hard part was learning to think in prompts instead of logic how to describe a bug precisely enough that the agent fixes the real problem instead of patching the symptom, three times, in three different wrong places.

I keep wondering if this is a preview of something bigger, or just a novelty that works because I happen to have a lot of patience and a phone that doesn't die. Curious what others here think: for the people who've built with AI agents has it changed how you think about programming as a skill, or does it just feel like outsourcing typing?

And for anyone who hasn't tried building this way yet what's stopped you? Time, trust, or just never having a reason to?

Built a free sports app solo — launching Wednesday, would love your feedback

Hey Product Hunt community! I'm Kendall, a solo developer from Utah. I'm launching T karo Sports this Wednesday and wanted to share the story and get some early feedback.

I built T karo Sports while working full time as an IT technician and studying for my Software Development degree. No investors, no team just me, a lot of late nights, and a genuine frustration with having to switch between 5 different apps just to follow sports.

What T karo does:

  • Live scores across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Supercross and more

  • Betting odds and line movement updated in real time

  • Automatic CLV tracking no spreadsheets needed

  • Bet slip import via photo auto-fills everything

  • PrizePicks and parlay support

  • De-vig fair line calculator

  • Completely free, no subscription, no bet limits
