>I built a genetic algorithm simulator with interactive visualizations showing evolution in real-time including complex fitness functions, selection pressure, mutation rates, and more in 1 day. I didn't write a single line of the code.

I'm really trying to understand this. From a learner point of view this is useless because you aren't learning anything. From an entrepreneur point of view it's useless too, I suppose? I wouldn't ship something I'm not 100% sure about how it works.

Don't worry about it! I hope it also prevented you from getting your daily amount of vitamin D

Yeah, he should also define "you". Is he talking about me, you or himself?

With all the new CLI tools it looks like the opposite to me. For example the ag, ack, rg history.

VS Code still has the same style from 2018.

I don't think terminal multiplexers (even Zellij which claims not to be one) make the experience better. They make it worse, actually, because when you have a problem there's one more thing to keep track of: Your terminal emulator, your terminal multiplexer and your TUI.

A decent terminal emulator like kitty solves all of this.

I didn't understand much of you said but it sounded mathy so I'm going to reply with a counterexample, just look up on youtube Russ Cox solving AoC with Acme and tell me that's not impressive!

By the way, using a GUI doesn't automatically using the mouse for everything, think of GVim or Emacs. the problem with terminal emulators is the emulating part, where they are forced to comply with the idiotic rules from the '70s.

I don't understand the idea to make everything terminal-centric. It should be one component of all the tools available to the programmer.

All text editors worth using have a way to open a terminal for that one time you need it, everything else should be a GUI (with all the advantages that come with it).
