If you look at the numbers, the % growth in terminal multiplexers in the last hundred years has been absolutely staggering. Way more than just a fad!
(I love tmux)
where do you get those numbers, boss?
I make them in a factory. I buy the raw bits at a bulk discount, and then workers assemble them into numbers by hand. Then we export them to people who need manufactured data, like elementary schools and consulting companies in North America.
It’s not super exciting, but it’s a living.
lol thank you
Or, more importantly: does it matter?
Ummm… Do people not realize this is satire? 😅
It’s very poorly done
“satire”
“Humor”
Edit:. Btw who are you asking about? I see one other top-level comment besides yours and no replies to it.
It was just a general comment because of all the downvotes. 😅
Weird, I see no downvotes either. Just 5 upvotes.
Satire or not, it’s still correct lol. Terminals and terminal emulation need to be destroyed. Modern systems with graphics and windowing systems are not VT100s and that’s a good thing.
Ummm… Nope. You’ll pry my terminal from my cold, dead hands. There’s no faster way to get many system tasks done than the command line.
I use GUIs all day, but there’s almost always at least one terminal open on screen because that’s where the real work gets done.
Or maybe terminal emulation needs to be brought up to speed with modern computing. New terminal specs and all that.
Nothing is better for remote computing and administration than a terminal. It’s far too data data dense for anything to be competitive.
Nothing is better for quick and easy iteration of programming ideas than a quick text output in a terminal.
It doesn’t need to be destroyed, it needs some iteration. It’s an old technology with a lot of cruft.
“is containerization a fad?”
“Is ssh a fad?”
Looks like you sshd into my working titles
