987: Remote Coding Agents

from Syntax - Tasty Web Development Treats Hosted by Wes Bos & Scott Tolinski - Full Stack JavaScript Web Developers

Scott and Wes break down the world of remote coding agents — what they are, why you’d want one, and all the different ways you can run them, from Cursor Cloud and Claude Code to an old laptop sitting on your floor. They cover real-world use cases, environment setup, API key management, and the wild variety of interfaces that let agents work while you sleep.
