Looks pretty cool. I think I already have a pretty good grasp on CLI commands, but I'll give it a shot, especially since the other features also seem interesting.

Yeah, sounded great. I just downloaded it.. hit a login screen..?! Then I read the HN comments on this page from 5 months ago, and immediately uninstalled: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30921231 The most worrying comments are those by the OP, the "founder and CEO of warp", who comes across as a liar and scammer. Super-unimpressive.

I didn't use it myself for the same reason. I offered to pay money for a login free build in those comments. Anyway, my friends do really like it.

Speaking of copilot, when is GitHub going to support billing for it at the organization level? Right now I would have to do a monthly reimbursement request which is a pain.

You can pay yearly which is not as annoying.

This 100 times. Reimburse team members once year. Problem solved.

Would be nice, have not used it since trial because of this.

That's funny, right before I opened HN I had just figured out how to get GitHub Copilot running in VS Code on a remote SSH server. I'm really impressed with how easy it is to install the VS Code agent and run extensions on a remote server, it feels very seamless.

This is really cool! Here's an example of using emacs to do it. Uses tabnine for real time completion, and Copilot/Codex for more advance completions.

It uses NLSH and Cterm. https://semiosis.github.io/nlsh/ https://semiosis.github.io/cterm/

Haha, this is great! Thank you for sharing! Though you definitely started it with that username and the subject. My friends have been using warp.dev and claim that the AI autopilot has made them 10x as productive on the shell. I just lament that people who haven't suffered through learning shell primitives as a teenager are now as productive or more than me. In time, all our primitive skills fall to the machine. I lo…

You can already use copilot to write shell scripts.

Help me understand something.

I understand that the company should pay for Copilot in principle.

However, is paying $120 per year that much when it helps you in your at least mid-five-figures job? I would ask for the reimbursement if it was annual, but filling out a form to ask for $10 back every month seems a bit over the top. Maybe I'm a spendthrift?

Am I missing something here? Would you say I am being irresponsible with my money?

I just remembered to cancel my AMC membership. That one was definitely not helping me do my job faster, and I'm not particularly regretful of losing a few dollars.
