This is a nice setup. It's got tmux and fzf and rg and zoxide and clean-looking nvim. I'd recommend atuin, starship, bat, glow, duf, dogdns, viddy, gum/sesh, dust, btop et all if you don't have them, there's a long tail. The Awesome Terminal XYZ lists on Github have them all.

atuin is make-or-break, its a bigger deal than zoxide and being a coder without zoxide is like being an athlete with shoes for a different sport.

asciinema is a better way to do terminal videos.

Its weird that this is weird now: having your tools wired in used to be called "being a programmer". VSCode and Zed and Cursor and shit are useful additions to the toolbox, you gotta know that stuff by heart now too and you have to know which LLM to use for what, but these things are the new minimum, they aren't a replacement for anything. Even with Claude Code running hot at 4am when the PID controller is wide open, sometimes its going to trash your tree (and if it doesnt youve got it on too short a leash to be faster than gptel) and without magit? gl.

If you think you're faster than OP with stock Cursor? Get them to make a video of how to use an LLM with chops.

While I get your point, please consider how absurd this sounds to someone who doesn't recognize most of the names.

Few hours later, 2 of these tools are in the front page of hackernews. So it's not that absurd! Sometimes you can just reference stuff here in the comments in order to summon them.

I love this place.

I know. It was more a commentary on how whimsical and uninformative all the names are.
