Because it will load into RAM. And RAM cost money. Also, quite hard to upgrade on the laptop

Propmpt-genned Rust shell is 13x the Ghostty size

I was one of the happy early Warp users. Hands down it was the best shell I ever used. Even the early preview was packed with useful dev-features more than any other shell I ever used.

Two years after they pivoted to AI platform it's now 805mb.

``` 805M /Applications/Warp.app 62M /Applications/Ghostty.app ```

New comment by ykurtov in "cURL removes bug bounties"

It's really hard to comprehend how entitled "reward which would be the cost of lunch in Sweden can be massive for those low socio-economic-located people" is.

A lunch in central Stockholm is well within 200 kronor. I can't imagine a country where an person with a computer and skills necessary to claim a bounty in cURL would consider that amount massive.

Get real.

I've recently been frustrated with the trajectory of UK political discourse and therefore a some form of art therapy was in order.

I can't draw, so I made a website.

New comment by ykurtov in "Warp sends a terminal session to LLM without user consent"

I started to use it right when it was released, long time before any LLM integration.

But fair point anyways.

Warp sends a terminal session to LLM without user consent

ykurtov — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 16:37:32 +0000

Wonder how being used feels like? One way to experience that is to discover that your terminal silently started to send command outputs to LLMs.

Today, I got an LLM suggestion on how to fix a syntactic error after following an attempt to run a test.

So, I went on to Warp's Discord to ask what's going on, and sure enough, their "Friendly support bot" and I discovered that.

> Warp has introduced features like Prompt Suggestions and Next Command that use LLMs to provide contextual suggestions. These features are part of Warp's Active AI system, which proactively recommends fixes and next actions based on your terminal session, including errors, inputs, and outputs.

"Proactively" here also means without explicit user consent.

I did enjoy Warp, but that breach of trust is so enormous I'm removing it just now.

This tells volumes about ethics and what's important.
