This sounds like a mashup of of several things I've been playing with lately... - pi-web ( https://pi-web.dev/ ): a web frontend for the Pi coding harness which can multiplex pi sessions across multiple machines - herdr ( https://herdr.dev/ ): a fairly polished agentic multiplexer TUI, can easily spawn or destroy windows based on subagent activity - firstmate ( https://github.com/kunchenguid/firstmate ): a meta envir…

have you tried Orca at all? I'm wondering between switching to herdr from it

Not the OP. I tried Orca for a few days, though I liked being able to manage git worktrees from the UI and being able to leave comments for the agent while I'm reviewing the diff, I found editing experience too slow for daily use. It's also missing some minor polish issues (vim bindings, being able to change default shell etc.) that were deal breakers for me.

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

You are missing out a bit, but stay content. :) Multiplexers have a lot of little papercuts and limitations when you want consistent and native-to-the-OS behavior to flow all the way between the OS and the apps and connections in the multiplexers. For example, gesture scrolling in a tmux/zellij pane is hard because the right events don't flow through. It's an itch to scratch like designing a good terminal lib (like g…

I'm not sure what is meant by this, I can mouse over a pane in zellij and use two-finger scrolling to scroll only that pane without any problem.

Agent orchestrators are the IDE dream repackaged. IDEs never really took off, excepting lock-in/monolopolization (Visual Studio, Xcode). They never lived up to the grand vision of the likes of Alan Kay. IDEs of today are still basically just text editors with a file explorer. Agent orchestrators seem similar. The vision is grand but the implementation is just tabbed terminals.

There are plenty industry-specific niche IDEs that you probably never heard of that make up a significant part of many companies product offering.

Jetbrains is valued around $7bil and their business is almost exclusively in IDEs.

Wolfram Research is valued probably around $100mil and their business also mostly consists of an IDE product.

With AI, I think the future of IDEs will be very split. A lot less work will happen in IDEs (in terms of LOC), but at the same time, I think AI will allow for a more sophisticated build-out of IDEs, so e.g. debug experiences will become a lot richer.

Wow, that "We're hiring/Career Page" link is geeksmaxxing. First time seeing `ssh superlogical.jobs` would be a way to show job descriptions in terminal!

It’s probably a good filter too for applicants

probably also designed to prevent spam-AI submissions

JetBrains would disagree, as would I.

Nevertheless I agree this is the next _evolution_ in IDEs.

When people who are rich and/or influential loudly and publicly share their political stances, and especially when they put their money toward those ends, it is not unreasonable to expect that to influence the opinions others have of those people, even to the point of saying "I would like to not be associated with them."

I get the impression that you are among the "stop bringing politics into these non-political places" crowd who believe that this stance is (a) exclusively taken by the left and (b) something that's only happened in the last ten years; I assure you neither of those things are true.

> but why do others take their hobo shouting on the street ramblings seriously, presumably only because they have wealth? The other hobos on the street seem to be happily ignored. The wealth is precisely what allows those hobos to act on their crazy ideas and and impact us all. The other hobos on the street without wealth have no actual impact thus we just ignore them. I don't think its that complicated.

The only act here is to convince others that the crazy shouting is something to seriously pay attention to. It is apparent that wealth enables that, but the exact mechanics remain unclear. Why does a hobo having wealth convince a bystander that the hobo should be listened to? What's the difference between a hobo that rolls up in a Rolls Royce and a hobo that rolls up in a shopping cart that changes how others behave?

It may not be complicated, but that doesn't mean I understand it without an explanation.
