I sat down with Justin Keyes of Neovim and Kovid Goyal of kitty to talk AI, why tmux is an anti-pattern, and where editors and terminals go next. youtu.be/OWtcgTTgSI8

Kitty's remote control socket plus skhd lets me jump to kitty and switch sessions straight from the browser by holding one key. #kitty

Sacha Chua explains why Emacs customizations feel like personal gifts shared freely, and why she hopes Neovim picks up the Emacs tradition of literate programming. #emacs

Kitty's remote control will do anything you tell it, so I learned the hard way (thanks to a Brodie Robertson video) to set it to socket-only instead of yes. Omarchy had it set to yes too. #kitty

I spent days complaining that I didn't have access to the Rex beta from Superlogical, and the invite had been sitting in my spam folder for 11 days.

My auto-generated clips run on a custom orchestrator where sub-agents create clips and check each other's work. GPT couldn't handle it, Claude Opus could, and Rex gives agents a way to talk out of the box. #AI

How do you delay the macOS menu bar when it's set to auto-hide? It covers my sketchybar every time the mouse touches the top. Opus 5.5 tried a Hammerspoon hack, no luck. WTF Apple, the Dock has a setting for this: defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0.7

I installed Rex's agent skills and hooks, asked Claude to open htop in a pane on the right, and it just did it. This is why Rex is built for agentic workflows.

Rex has persistence, but I don't care about that. What really matters is sessions as workspaces, because with AI agents you can't keep everything in one session full of tabs. #terminal

I jump between projects with a single key press using Kitty sessions, then try doing the same with plain terminal tabs and it gets painful fast. #kitty

I don't read docs anymore: Claude Code reads the Rex docs through Superlogical's MCP server, and walking through the flow finally taught me what MCP actually is. #MCP

Rex isn't open source like Ghostty. Should you care? I walk through the closed beta, why the code might not be public, and why I'm fine if Rex stays proprietary. youtu.be/RBIMos1UYLQ

WTF is even Hermes?

We say we love open source, but really we're just cheap. I pirated all my software growing up, quit for security reasons, and now I give Claude full access to my computer.

I was a huge tmux fan, but here's the core difference: tmux runs inside any terminal, while Rex is the terminal itself, built on libghostty. And yes, I still hate the tmux prefix key. #tmux

Is @mitchellh betraying the Ghostty community by keeping Rex closed source? I say let him cook, he has only made great tools so far. #terminal

After two hours trying the Rex beta live, here's my verdict: my custom Kitty setup already does what Rex does, but Rex is way friendlier for anyone just getting into sessions. #terminal

Rumen walked me through his plan for a personalized NixOS-powered, Emacs-centric workstation with none of the bloat.

Can Rex replace tmux? I try Mitchell Hashimoto's new terminal for the first time, test persistence, and give my honest verdict as a former tmux fan. youtu.be/9EmOz2IgXow
