Check out: https://github.com/neurosnap/zmx

It uses libghostty to restore scrollback history and terminal state.

Hard agree.

Single monitor workflows — which are more ergonomic — make switching spaces a necessity. It might not impact productivity but it is annoying as hell switching around spaces a lot

It’s insane and the worst part about Mac OS

To be completely fair to JJ: you can still use git commands and any aliases with it. I daily JJ in all of my repos but I created these aliases inside of git. That's one of the great aspects of JJ: it's fully compatible with git.

There is zero reason not to include a picker like helix does. I’m gonna guess 90% of everyone running neovim has a picker

Their primary goal in the last year was to move to Azure. Any massive infra migration is going to cause issues.

Because we are constantly writing variables that are lowercase. Coming up with a name that is both short but immediately understandable is what we live for. Variables are our shrine, we stare at them everyday and are used to their beauty and simplicity.

If you want VC money you need to put an AI spin on it.

Interesting you mention tmux because it itself resembles a terminal emulator. It has its own terminal feature matrix that controls what your parent emulator can render. It sounds like you aren’t using tabs and splits in tmux but it does include them.

It sounds like you could get away with using a tool like https://zmx.sh which only handles session persistence (attach/detach). It also uses libghostty but only for state restoration on reattach.

I built https://prose.sh as part of my journey into Gemini and back out. Ya, it's just a simple blog, but you can completely manage it with ssh and is compatible with hugo when people want to eject.

We also recently released support for plain-text-lists which is a gemini-inspired spec that use lists as its foundational structure.

> The velocity is up AND the quality is up.

This is not my experience on a team of experienced SWEs working on a product worth 100m/year.

Agents are a great search engine for a codebase and really nice for debugging but anytime we have it write feature code it makes too many mistakes. We end up spending more time tuning the process than it takes to just write the code AND you are trading human context with agent context that gets wiped.

It’s easier to write code than read it.

That’s going to give you all a ton of job security in a year when we realize that prompt first yields terrible results for maintainability.

I use it all the time with https://tuns.sh that let's you expose localhost to the public.

I get that people like but I really cannot stand most of the decisions it made. The worst of all is auto imports which every language has rejected: https://bower.sh/on-autoloading

I built something similar actually: https://starfx.bower.sh

Similarly https://prose.sh which is a markdown blog you just rsync to their service
