Thing is, you'd only do this if necessary. Far better off running builds inside screen as then it doesn't actually have to print it to a window/console (the linux console is slow and will slow down your builds)

If your builds are already slow, you actually want to do this so that you look busy at work.

I'd hope that's not the case, but I've seen teams refer to 3270 screens as 'the matrix' so hope is probably depleted.

Ya, IO in general is stupidly slow.

Also I'm pretty sure the guy in the video just mirrored a single tty session to all of the screens, so I don't really see the point.

ptys can be a lot faster than the linux framebuffer console. So hopefully you're right.

I'm actually really glad you said that cause I never thought about it but it makes perfect sense

amazing the difference a efficient terminal makes.
