In the before times we had to VPN into machines and run large data processing jobs that took hours. It was pretty normal for everyone to leave their laptop half-open on their desks during lunch.

No, it was not a good idea. Yes, we fucked with each other and changed people’s backgrounds or chat usernames or email signatures.

Anyways, if you’re on Mac you can run caffeinate -i claude and your computer won’t go to sleep until you close your Claude Code instance. You can also attach it to a PID. Then you can close your computer’s lid and it’ll still run.
