Official Session Summary
Pulled from the live conference page.
Many engineers have already adopted terminal-based coding agents. This talk is about the next step: moving those workflows off your laptop and onto remote machines. I’ll show why I like running coding agents over SSH: remote machines stay up 24/7, don’t compete with local resources, make persistent sessions easier, and create a better environment for long-running or multi-agent work. We’ll cover remote machine choices, tmux workflows, CLI agent options, terminal-friendly browsing and screenshot tools, TUI development, editors, and review workflows. If you already use coding agents in the terminal, this talk is about how to make that setup more durable, scalable, and agent-native.
