Did you know Claude Code can keep working after you close your laptop?
I found out today, and I love it.
I was in the middle of a big build and asked, "Am I good if my computer turns off?" The answer was honest: no. This work runs on my computer, so it stops when the computer does.
So I asked what it would take for the work to keep going with my computer off. It laid it out plainly: save what is built so far to GitHub, then hand the rest to a cloud session with the full plan and every decision I had made. It even listed what would have to wait for me, like the final test in a real browser and anything that only lives on my machine.
I said yes. It saved the work and passed the build to the cloud with a written brief, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
Next time you have a long build going and somewhere to be, ask Claude Code: "What would it take for this to keep going with my computer off?"
