The biggest challenge with AI right now isn't building from scratch or brainstorming, it's great at both. It's building real intuition for how things should work.

Take how TikTok and YouTube handle video. If they served the same file to every device, tablet, mobile, desktop, even a slow 3G connection, users would drop off fast. So how would you solve that?

Don't worry, let me show you. Here's how to architect for exactly this challenge.

PRESENTED BY IMAGEKIT

Don't throw raw MP4s into an S3 bucket and serve them straight to users? Your mobile users end up watching a spinner. Think how Netflix, Tiktok handle this problem?

Well, the fix is HLS adaptive bitrate streaming, but that normally means running your own FFmpeg servers. Don't do that as we have ImageKit that handles all of it.

ImageKit is an image and video API, full media processing, not just a CDN. Point it at your existing S3, GCP, or its AI-powered DAM, and get 50+ URL-based transformations, from resize and crop to AI smart cropping, watermarks, and HLS/DASH streaming, all from the URL. SDKs for React, Next.js, and more, on a Forever Free plan you can actually ship on.

Ever kicked off a long Claude Code task, then had to leave your desk and lose all visibility?

Claude Code's /remote-control fixes this, and the underrated part is turning it on for every session automatically.

All you need to do is run /remote-control and connect the session.

🧠 The Fix

→ /remote-control bridges your live local session to your phone or browser
​→ Your files, MCP servers, and tools all stay on your machine, only the chat flows through
​→ Type /config and set "Enable Remote Control for all sessions" to true

Now every session is automatically available on your phone. No more babysitting your terminal. No more choosing between waiting at your desk or abandoning the task.

🚀 The Takeaway

One toggle in /remote-control means you can start a task at your desk and keep an eye on it from the couch, a walk, or your commute.

AI

​Opus 4.8 is here and it's the best GA model for coding and agents.

You might believe you should spend less time thinking about code because of AI.

The most reliable model for long running tasks​

​Dynamic workflows in Claude - Claude writes an orchestration script on the fly, then spins up a large fleet of coordinated subagents in parallel to take on your most complex tasks.
