My absolute favorite thing about Warp is the function that suggest a new command intelligently when the one I just ran failed or changes to the code when execution failed. Haven't been able to replicate that as smoothly in Ghostty which I really want to enjoy but honestly haven't really felt the same delight I got from Warp.

im glad you guys open sourced the terminal, just in case, you know...

No guy, this is the one, this is the coding agent that everyone is going to use now, instead of the one that is in the editor or part of their existing ai providers offering.

> Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones? You can't raise a $50 million series b on making a nice terminal. we already have lots of nice terminals for free

We also have a bunch of agents and harnesses for free

As always it’s about the packaging not the individual components.

I do like integrating the shell with the agent. That seems like something I do occasionally need. But the occasion when I need it is getting rarer and rarer so I suspect that this is building a feature for 6 months ago.

I used to really like Warp, back when it was just a terminal. Then as they went more and more in on AI the actual terminal features became more and more buggy and I ended up having to go back to WezTerm. Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones?

Yeah I became a fan of Warp when they offered a terminal that treated the input as a normal text input field so I could use my normal keyboard text editing shortcuts.

But I understand that's not a viable business model. I'm back on iTerm2 now cause Warp isn't approved for use at my job (and never would be with all their AI pushing), and I've managed to pound iTerm 2 into something usable enough but I wish every terminal would copy Warp's text input style.

when i open a new tab in warp now it defaults to their agent and not my actual terminal. i'm going to have to switch back to something else, do you like wezterm?

I never used Warp, is the editing similar to PowerShell ISE's editing by chance? Powershell ISE is like a mix of a script editor and a PowerShell UI so you can script out some things or use the terminal directly.

So this is a competitor to something like OpenCode or Pi? I suspect for most developers, they are using Claude Code or Codex CLI mainly just so they don't have to pay-per-token and can use the subscription products - which I assume can't be done with Warp Agent?

The codex and many other subscriptions can be used with other harnesses like OpenCode and pi. It's officially supported most of the time. Using my Codex and MiniMax sub just fine in pi.

Yeah Anthropic is the only company I am aware of that only allows subscription usage in first party products
