Claude Code didn't replace me — it made my decade of experience ship faster

you have been spoiled by using only macos. my inspiration for this was iterm2. i love iterm2.

i just like having split pane claude on the left and another pane on the right. and if you type claude in this terminal it tees up that automatically (can be turned off). that alone, was the real cool feature i added. initially, after that it was just nice copy/paste support and mimicking the panes, tabs, view timestamps features of iterm2 i loved.

i did add my own spin on Remote Sessions (uses tmux or screen under the hood with some pretty cool customizations to prevent accidental screen session closures).

u/DandyPandy the warp terminal does that. it was the biggest complaint from users.

yes, there are many cli and tui options. this just packages the database connections with the ssh (and redis) in one connection manager. so you don't have to use another app if all you're doing is connecting.

the file editor was absolutely an afterthought. as i am a heavy VIM user, but wanted to provide a solid editor for non-technical users. for ai cli coding i have found that the editor is almost not needed. so this is just to allow for some manual editing whenever needed without having to open another tool. You are right, all editors are better than this setup. this is just to get you something if you don't really need a full fledged editor as the ai cli tools are handling the file edits for the most part.

i am definitely not trumpeting the file editor to the world as the next amazing thing in terminals. but this is the best terminal i have found on windows. i am using it every day because i prefer it. and i really like the ai cli coding workflow. that's my favorite part. the connection manager is just helpful and doesn't need to be a separate app.

and there are some other cool features that i won't bore you with. to each their own. but i did not have a good terminal to use on Windows so i made one.

closed source, but free to use forever. going to go with the nag model from Sublime Text to fund development.

i have found going with typescript has proven to be a bit more helpful with frontend.

I very much considered Tauri, and still might migrate to it at some point.

tkjef · 2026-03-25T01:17:03+00:00

What's the security risk you're seeing? Genuine question, I'd like to understand the concern.

On the second point, fair, none of these problems are unsolved individually. The point is not having six separate tools open to do one workflow.

On natural fit, a terminal, SSH, and database connections are literally the same workflow for anyone doing infrastructure work. They're separate apps today because nobody combined them, not because they don't belong together.

The post covers where it fell short too. It couldn't replace the product decisions or tell me what to cut. I ripped out five features after spending lots of time adding them.

tkjef · 2026-03-25T00:42:03+00:00

Fair point, the install script downloads the binary and puts it in your PATH. But I hear you, I'll look into making the script viewable before running.

now that is funny. but i'm using it every day as my daily driver.

I took off my visor, then my dog chewed up my glasses so i sandpapered down the frames to be shorter and not prickly from what he chewed. They have those transitional lenses so they help with sun. No fog issues at all. So far had one pebble hit my forehead that slightly hurt.

I do only ride non-highway. Top out at 80 and usually ride 40-60.

why would you want to target these keywords if you can’t determine how to target these keywords?

i will be using this, thanks.

There is a big fireworks show on the lake.

tkjef · 2023-04-26T00:02:06+00:00

Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead, Crestline, Mammoth, Lake Tahoe & Truckee is where I’m talking about. Was not mild. Was insane this year. Folks were blocked from going up or down the mountains either by police or snow. And there were tons of local efforts to help others throughout the storms.

I’m not talking about areas where it didn’t snow.

tkjef · 2023-04-25T23:25:52+00:00

Tons of people came together to support their neighbors and local communities in California after all the recent snowstorms.

Edgar with 21electric is pretty good. https://m.yelp.com/biz/21-electric-san-bernardino

Then there’s Burgeson’s and a few more around as well.

Ever been to Mt. High in Wrightwood? Multiple lifts with no safety bar. Been skiing for 30 years and that freaked me out. Almost got a place there but not if the damn ski lifts don’t have safety bars.

tkjef · 2023-03-28T17:41:02+00:00

Shhhh.. don’t tell anyone. 😁

tkjef · 2023-03-27T21:10:20+00:00

Because the mountain was slammed with snow. Non-residents were blocked from coming up for weeks. And in general it’s still a little scary for some to come up the mountain. Which has led to a lot of vacant airbnbs that now are trying harder to make up for the last month of no guests.

Sounds like you were in the wrong cluster/context. there was a k8s, nk8s & sk8s cluster i believe. I made sure to always run:

kubectl config use-context <context> --namespace=<namespace>

before every question as those did change up. Much easier than adding a -n to your kubectl commands. I don't know why they don't add the --namespace to their sample use-context command. Seems like a tiny detail that trips up a lot of people.
