This reminds me somewhat of OLE, COM, DCOM, ActiveX, ... [1]. You can paste an Excel chart into a Word document and if you update the data in Excel, the chart in Word will update. You can edit the chart in Word using the Excel UI because you are essentially running an Excel instance inside of Word. You can interact with Excel through an API, no need for a human. But it is painful, you can probably imagine the kind of…

At least there's no history of security issues with that.

Can you explain how the COM/ActiveX security history applies here?

Bun and the Rust pre-release have continued to be open source; the pre-release isn’t exclusive to Claude Code but available to anyone to download and use. There hasn’t been any public motion to indicate they may close source anytime soon. This FUD is so easily fact-checkable that I’m genuinely confused at how it caught on

What did they lie about in your opinion? CC is using the rust version right now.

> a single app

I mean this is a very silly way to describe one of the most used developer tools in the world, don’t you think?

HN discussions are filled with negative-sentiment AI comments that quickly get upvoted regardless of their connection to reality.

Yup. It almost seems that HN threads that aren’t about AI are against it, according to comments. I have found out that it doesn’t make sense to argue with negative-sentiment strangers…

I love reasonable engineering practices, like throwing out your entire codebase and rewriting it in a whole ass different language :)

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

I haven't tried Orca but as a herdr user and by way of analogy, it seems Orca is like VSCode and herdr is like Sublime Text.

As someone who has never used sublime I don’t get the analogy, but what do you like about herdr? Is it worth using? I came across it along with hunk at the same time and I’ve been using hunk a bit but didn’t really see the appeal of herdr over just my usual batch of terminal windows.

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…

> gesture scrolling in a tmux/zellij pane is hard because the right events don't flow through 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.

Yes, but you can't, for example, transfer momentum vectors through zellij to the app.

If the app is offering what appears to be momentum, it's implemented its own acceleration/deceleration algorithm. That's a lot to ask of an app, and they aren't equally good.

Detecting a wide range of underlying terminal support for a CLI app is a pain and prone to errors/drift.

There are various plugins that attempt to solve this, but it'd be nice for someone to solve it once and for all, and then upstream those layers into open source as this project is promising to do.

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…

NSA and other companies historically had you jumping hoops and writing mini-exploits to be able to see the email you're supposed to send your resume to.

"I completed the Synacor challenge" is still a good way to get experienced CTOs' attention.

"I completed the Frobnicator challenge" probably works just as well. No one would want to admit they'd never heard of it.
