    The design of the project is awesome… ✨

    I haven’t found a reference on that website for contact and contribution, and hence I leave a comment here.

    They mention iTerm2 much so it’s likely their preferred OS is MacOS, yet I have no experience in it but Linux, and here I believe it’s worth to also mention some Linux terminal emulators like Konsole by KDE.

    Konsole is quite featureful and extendable, and has support for plugins with custom CSS for its window styling, too!

    I’ve attached a quick but relatively old preview found while currently being on-the-go.
    In the preview we may see the changed, via CSS, scroll-bar on the right of terminal windows, and support for relatively complex prompt (i.e. OhMyPosh).

  • It’s worth to mention that the StackOverflow survey referenced does not include many countries with also great/genius developers, including Belarus, Russia, China, Iran…
    There are related cases raised on Meta scopes: Developer Survey 2025 is, apparently, region blocked…

    Apparently, while I’ve being employed in security as software engineer for at least 19 years now, I’ve never ever considered these trendy LLM/“AI” all serious, and still do not.

    Sorry, I have literally no interest in all of it that makes you dependent on it, atrophies mind, degrades research and social skills, and negates self-confidencen with respect to other authors, their work, and attributions. Nor any of my colleagues in military and those I know better in person.

    Constant research, general IDEs like JetBrains’s, IDA Pro, Sublime Text, VS Code, etc. backed by forums, chats, and Communities, is absolutely enough for the accountable and fun work in our teams, who manage to keep in adequate deadlines.

    Nor will use any LLM in my work, art, or research… I prefer people, communication, discoveries, effort, creativity, and human art…
    I just disable it everywhere possible, and will do all my life. The close case to my environment was VS Code, and hopefully there’s no reason to build it from source since they still leave built-in options to disable it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79534407/5113030 (How can I disable GitHub Copilot in VS Code?..)

    Isn’t it just inadequate to not think and develop your mind, and let alone pass control of your environment to a yet another model or “advanced T9” of unknown source of unknown iteration.

    In pentesting, random black-box IO, medicine experimental unverified intel, log data approximation why not? But in environment control, education, art or programming, fine art… No, never ^^

    Meanwhile… so freaking, incredibly many developers, artists are left without attribution, respect, gratitude…
    So many people atrophy their skils for learning, contribution, researching, accumulation, self-organization…
    So much human precious time is wasted…
    So much gets devalued…

    The time will show… and just a few actually accountable will recover only, probably…
    This is so heartache… sorrowful…
