@OkamaKichigai @thatsFrScience What makes you hate tmux? (Market research question lol)

@mitchellh @thatsFrScience I hate tmux and want to see your implementation make it obsolete

Hey @mitchellh, some time ago you were talking about building a tmux alternative, is that still something you are working on? Curious about it

@thatsFrScience Based on this, I think you'll love it.

@mitchellh Can’t wait to try it out! Happy to beta test it. I am currently using tmux to make Claude code multi user through a web app that connects through a websocket curious If that will apply.

@RyanPCooke I'll let you think about it.

@mitchellh how does bad human drivers evaluating their own driving filter out anything?

silly humans who still think they are better at coding than datacenters full of PHDs, resorting to sabotage

@RyanPCooke You're missing it. Garbage in garbage out. Bad AI drivers produce bad AI results. That's not an AI problem, its a people problem. I'm extremely, EXTREMELY PRO AI (see my blog, projects, I embed helpful AGENTS.md, skills, etc.). This filters out bad AI drivers.

@mitchellh but it is the point. if you truly believe the machines are better, you should be incentivizing ai prs, not humiliating them

@BoganBits They copied it (the project), obviously

@mitchellh I am curious how your AGENTS.md affected a completely unrelated project

Got em. I poison my AGENTS.md (and other things like code comments) all over the place with prompt injections like this to find people who don't review their code and sling it off to another human. Catches folks all the time and then its an instant ban. As I've said, I don't care if you don't review your own code. But if you're submitting code to an OSS project and crossing a human boundary, it is simple courtesy to do some human review.

@elzorrorebelde I advertise a standard fit in meta headers: mitchellh.com/feed.xml

@mitchellh no RSS in mitchellh.com/writing ? :(

Another fun thing is that macOS tries very hard NOT to free app memory. When you call free it doesn’t free it in the traditional sense and the default reporting shows that number. As the same kernel guy I talked to said “if you have available RAM, free RAM is wasted RAM” so they instead mark the RAM as free able but keep it wired to your app for faster future allocs until they need to reclaim it. This also inflates numbers unlesss you know how to enable the right reporting.

@commandersaki @joshmanders @kai_fell The effect of this though is when you fork/exec your memory and cpu get attributed to the parent (well actually the owning pid which is usually the app bundle eg Ghostty). You have to use command line tools to split it up. Normal GUI reporting shows the aggregate

written in zig btw

@the_mentor @ThePrimeagen Lots of love and respect for what Asahi does. Historically haven’t been able to donate to open collective projects because they aren’t a recognized non profit. But I’ll look again.

@mitchellh @ThePrimeagen Awesome to see you donate to open source. It would be totally awesome if you can look into donating to the @AsahiLinux project They are doing God's work by reverse engineering and porting Linux to apple silicon macs opencollective.com/asahilinux

My family is donating another $400,000 to the Zig Software Foundation. Zig is exceptional software. I use AI every day. Zig has one of the strongest anti-AI policies in open source. We disagree on some things, but respect doesn’t require agreement. mitchellh.com/writing/zig-do…

@zeeg what year is it

@lumenradley @kai_fell No need for fuss. Just use whatever works for you.

@mitchellh @kai_fell it still dont get the fuss around this, iterm seems so much better

@S0cram @kai_fell Yeah just note this includes all the programs Ghostty is also running so this in and of itself doesn’t show if Ghostty has the leak or something else :( if this happens again run footprint against the Ghostty pid

@mitchellh @kai_fell i recently had one(first time this big) i have multiple windows and tabs opened with claude and lazygit in it

@loftwah @jonnygravity Obv not a lawyer but I believe all laws related to traps and so on have to cause actual damage or physical harm. My traps just cause sentinel values to show up so I know what’s up.

@QuinnyPig @ischichan Well my kids are 3 and like... a month, so they aren't involved in the conversation yet. Haha!

@wesbos oh my god

the prodigal son

Well, I didn't, because I'm not upset about it. I always engage negative feedback in case there is something productive to be gained by it. If there isn't, its fine, it doesn't affect me at all, and I can move on. I try to interact using standard social norms unless/until the other side doesn't reciprocate. It has a follow on effect of usually exposing the clowns for who they are. Its all good.

@mitchellh @kai_fell Rage bait. @mitchellh - you bit.
