This is amazing! Please never ever use it in production.

I propose that developers are allowed to use it in production... so long as they do all the development work on a 9600 baud dialup with a VT102.

I actually am getting a VT320 soon that I hope to be able to use for my terminal at work. I'll run these over it if I remember.

I was thinking about how fun it would be to add this my Python CLI [0] I made for launching Fedora CoreOS locally with QEMU for testing ignition, but with a flag that is turned off by default. Using the burn effect in TTE when launching a VM with my CLI would be so cool. This instantly reminded me about Ansible and how it annoyed me that ANSIBLE_NOCOWS had to be enabled to disable the default output of Ansible with c…

I'm glad to see we all take the same approach to these sorts of things ^_^ self.move_cursor_to_top() sys.stdout.write(output_string) sys.stdout.flush()

Would there be a more canonical way do do this?

I think the canonical way would be to ship this in some sort of hard-to-uninstall snap or flatpack package.

Hot damn, I have to respect the author for shutting down any attempt to make him give in to the pressure.

All these serious enterprise people worried about their cows, but then they do install ‘cowsay’ on their systems xD
