The article discusses using asynchronous coding agents like Claude Code and Codex for code research tasks. It emphasizes the benefits of setting clear goals, allowing these agents to experiment in dedicated GitHub repositories, and accessing the web freely for results. The author shares examples of research projects that demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach.

The article discusses the author's experience creating a DIY asynchronous coding agent using existing tools and frameworks. It highlights the challenges and solutions encountered while integrating Slack, GitHub, and serverless computing to run coding tasks in the background. The author argues that while commercial cloud agents exist, building a custom solution can provide greater flexibility and control.

The article details a setup for running Claude Code agents from a phone using Termius and a Vultr VM. It highlights how to maintain session persistence and manage tasks with push notifications, enabling efficient asynchronous development on the go.
