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 get that premise, I guess I've just been around a lot of bad engineers that use these types of tools as crutches but can't actually articulate or diagnose problems well. They just regurgitate the syntax like it's a magic spell.

Does that apply here?

We're talking about abstracting generic OS windowing/multiplexing for what sounds like an agent-based development workflow modality where you're referring to what's happening in the panes/tabs/windows instead of the containers themselves.

We're not talking about software abstractions.

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…

I don't understand herdr, can you explain it to me? I've tried it, but I don't understand what it gives me over tmux other than the agent sidebar. But people seem excited about it so I feel like I am missing something.

It's built for ai agents, tmux works but isn't designed for an ai workflow. Herdr is also very well thought out, not just the design/approach but also the interaction and mouse support, responsive support, etc. I had been using tmux, switched and haven't looked back.

I'm sorry but I am still confused. What specifically does herdr give me over tmux? "It is designed for agents" is just marketing speech, it means nothing. Ok, it has mouse support, fine, I don't care about that one but I can see how it's useful to some people. That has nothing to do with agents though. zellij also has a better user experience than tmux, so you could just use that or any of the other dozen multiplexers.

I understand it has the agent pane on the left that tells you what is running but... that's it?

What do you mean by lifestyle business?

"lifestyle business" is sometimes used as a derogatory term to describe setting up a corporation for a hobby that is not really meant to be profitable.

That's not what a lifestyle business is.

Its interesting they recognize they've themselves worked remotely for most of their careers but not for our new company. Maybe its a new trend

They've taken funding. i saw that on their site. vcs probably told them not to make it fully remote, given current rto trends.

I've been working on collie[1] a plugin for herdr that runs a web app on the herdr host which can then be served via tailscale for example. This has made accessing my agents on the go a lot easier, paired with session persistence from herdr it's been quite nice to work with. [1] https://github.com/AltanS/collie

Yes, thank you I have been using it daily and it's great. Good job
