Terminals
Terminals are so powerful, especially with TUIs and Neovim. I love the terminal and the workflows (writing, data engineering, note-taking) it provides.

Here an example of a advanced workflow:

# Which Terminal to use?
I don’t mind so much about which terminal, as long as it’s inside the terminal. What you see is above is Tmux. I currently use Foot (minimal), but I love Kitty, too. Herdr, another Terminal Multiplexer, might be good if you have 10s of Agents running. I’m a modest guy, I have no more than 2-3 running, so I don’t need Herdr at the moment, and Tmux is enough for me (with this agent integration tmux).
Try a bunch, and see if it works for you. That’s always the best. I like a distraction-free environment, and I feel that Herdr is too focused on agents, which is not what I need. But I’m also not coding too much, so that might change if I built lots of stuff.
