What about people who can't read the article because of a paywall. They like to comment, too. Or the tangents that routinely happen having nothing to do with the article.

I'm also a scripter and love the CLI but notify-send is really nice to be alerted when locally-executed long-running scripts end (for example, a terraform plan)

gnome-terminal already seems to do this for me...

But anyway it's not the same, or at least it wasn't in Terminator, since you can just notify for activity in a terminal regardless of the program generating activity in it. And I don't want to turn it off and on every time I stop/start using terraform in that session
