There is value in abstracting the underlying generic systems into more context-relevant primitives for people who just want to get shit done in that context.

Why not meet people where they are at?

If this product isn't valuable, then it will fail. I suspect it will not fail.

I really wish mitchellh wouldn't take funding from some of these people. Tobias Lutke in particular has chronically been on the wrong side of fundamental issues, and has most recently advocated for a pay-to-play version of democracy where wealth determines your ability to participate (and in particular your "stake" in the democracy).

I'm sure the people who would have their right to vote stripped from them would consider that malicious, and they would be correct. That's not democracy.

I'm sorry to take it out on this specific announcement, as it just seems to be one of many "offenders", but why are the 15 investors listed on an announcement blog post of a semi-stealth startup? With most of them being VC or high-count angel investors, they can combined push whatever product is being built here into 200+ companies independent of whether it is good or not. What happened to the good old way of figurin…

> why else would a ~billionair that could easily fund it himself pull in that many investors that early?

Something something "never spend your own money if you can spend someone else's money." That plus the perception of having those specific investors gives the idea/business fast authority/prestige.

It's not the gangster move, but it's a move.

I really like the bit where he transferred ownership of Ghostty to a non-profit, and is now building this new company on that as an open source dependency: > We will build on libghostty exactly as it was designed to be used: as a public building block for terminal applications. Superlogical will consume the same MIT-licensed components available to everyone else, and we will continue to upstream shared terminal work…

Flashback to when Mitchell first introduce Vagrant [1] to HN, which of course was the how everything from HashiCorp started. I thought it was't that long ago, may be 8, or at best 10-12 years. Turns out 16 years has passed. Curious if it would be another project using Zig. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1175901

Considering it's going to consume libghostty, I'm betting it'll be Zig.

> Lutke made a mortal sin of disagreeing on suffrage requirements

I think this is a very tame and apologetic and dishonest way to put it. Suffrage and voting is how people have a voice in the future of their democracy. He advocates for a policy that materially removes that right, that say in the future, from those who already have little power. I don’t know how else to emphasize that it’s more than “they disagree a bit with him and now he’s an impure sinner”, it’s more akin to “this rich dude wants to rewrite the rules to give himself more power and us less”, which is a sober assessment of his policy. I think people actively trying to avoid giving him any more money or power is a very understandable reaction to that

I think ultimately some parts of ideology are bound to and by the reality we live in, and acknowledging that reality gives a good answer here for when _it seems like_ people freaking out at an “impure idea” - is there a documented harm that we can look at?

Many people boycott Elon and his products. Do you raise this same “moral purity” complaint about them? Does it ever go in the other direction?

I think technology and how we build it is deeply tied to us as social, communal beings. Tech can be a reflection of our capabilities, our values. Tech shapes our reality in turn. It’s worth thinking about, being critical of, and believing people when they say what they believe

Taking VC money to being a better (probably worse) tmux is the sort of clownworld stuff only people in the Thiel circle can come up with

What does tmux alone do way better than the newer tools?

Surely the opposite question makes more sense: what's the value add of newer tools?

I will admit that I've used https://herdr.dev/ before because unlike tmux, it displays the status of running LLM agents.

This doesn't seem like a niche that isn't filled. Am I missing out on something by still just using iTerm2 and tmux?

I imagine something more like herdr, but done at the terminal level, not inside. But that’s cmux…

Looking really cynically, it does seem like it might transition into some kind of cloud-development situation. Your "one access to all development" is one ssh away from our mega 24/7 online compute farm, since we need to keep the sessions persistent. But you can access anything you want!

Hopefully that's not the endgame?
