What started as "I'll just run coding agents on a remote machine" turned into a deep dive through SSH agent forwarding, tmux clipboard integration, and Fish shell event handlers.

wersdoerfer.deRunning Coding Agents Remotely: SSH, tmux, and the Quest for a Seamless ExperienceWhy This Matters: Coding Agents Are Changing How I Work
Coding agents like Claude Code are quite powerful, but watching them work can be like watching paint dry—especially when you're just clicking "approve" repeatedly. Running them with --dangerously-skip-permissions speeds things up, but doing that on your main development machine? That's asking for trouble.
My solution: dedicate an old Mac mini as a sacrificial lamb for agent experiments. But this created new challenges that took me down a rabbit hole of SSH, tmux, and shell configuration.
that's in the running for me.
