The actual header on the page is > We are building the multiplexer for all work. imo this would have been a better way to do the HN submission title (with or without [terminal]) > Superlogical: We are building the [terminal] multiplexer for all work
I clicked on the link and read the page, but I still don't have the faintest idea what a "multiplexer for all work" is, or why I want one. The more I read about it, the less I understand about it. Guess I'm not the target audience. At least I know that now, after several minutes of reading and head-scratching. I almost get tmux -- although I still don't understand why it's better than simply opening multiple terminal…
Same here, no clue what this is even about lol

Tmux is good because: 1) sessions stay running if you disconnect 2) window management - you can split your screen, have an octobox a-la redzone style, and focus/unfocus etc. This is based on developing on a remote server - but even locally, I find it invaluable. Multiple terminal windows are fine, but some times you want multiple windows. Even in a pre-ai world, you might want to run a process, see the code, edit, an…
One reason I find it hard to grasp is that when I work on Windows, it's almost always through RDP or VNC. There is never any question of a terminal (or a process launched from it) staying open between login sessions, because it never depended on any particular connection to begin with. It's just there, on the desktop, which might stay up for months before I need to connect to it again. Any terminals or other processe…
I have been in RDP land but I would never go back unless required (windows). While it could just be personal experience/failures, latency was not good and reliability was not good. Things are probably better as of late though I hesitate to assume software has improved... It is just much simpler to live in the terminal for dev work, especially with agents. That being said, I use MacOS and Windows daily for non-dev work. Either way, your points are valid, and whatever works for you works for you friend :)

> It's built for ai agents, tmux works but isn't designed for an ai workflow So an opportunity to learn the Bitter Lesson [1]. If tmux is good enough for people today, it should be good enough for agets tomorrow. That gap might comprise a beachhead. But you'd better scramble off the shores onto something more defensible fast. [1] http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html
You say this like there's no value in a transitional technology. Yes, tmux should be good enough for agents tomorrow. But here we are, today. Also, herdr is just an open source project with no VC capital behind it. So I don't think it needs to scramble to something more defensible. It can live a happy life pleasing users and then fade into obsolescence.
