He and the AI grew a replacement for his terminal tool over a few months and he never went back
A developer tired of managing terminal windows one way and other windows another way grew his own replacement with AI over the course of a few months, one that treats graphical apps as part of the session too. He uses it now and says he has never looked back.
How it works
- He starts building a replacement with AI
- They grow it over a few months, adding the session handling he wants
- He switches to it for his daily work and does not go back
Why it’s worth knowing
Instead of learning another tool’s way, he grew the exact tool he wanted with his agent over months of small changes.
