Re: The Warp Agent CLI

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?

100% agree. I've ended up building my own [1][2] mostly because I got annoyed the agent cli's are building remote control into the agents, instead of into the terminal. I really want the agent cli's to focus on being the best autonomous agents, then let me choose a great terminal that does all the extra.

Another great option (not mine) is Orca [3] and it's a lot more mature. Really nice to use.

I'm glad it works for you, but I've got enough electron apps running on my computer already. I have to run a bunch for work and fully half my cpu is just electron at idle

I also felt this way and after staring at the 900MB app package in disbelief started tearing out features using Claude with minimal supervision over the weekend.

It was also a bit of an experiment with a larger Rust codebase, which is outside my usual areas. I did pull out powershell since this was just for personal use on macOS. Been using it today and enjoying it in place of Ghostty, but merely an experiment and learning project:

Why does any company do anything? Money, of course.

The writing was on the wall from the very start of Warp. I can't remember precisely what happened, but years ago when it was first announced there was something that required internet, or telemetry, or an account to use Warp. I noped out right there before I even tried further. It was always going to be bloatware.

Same thing for Arc Browser. Sorry, why do I need an account to use a browser? That was a nope for me
