Yeah, my ordering was all wrong. I tried to find it. Then I used LM to help me understand what this kind of thing even does. Then I filled in the gaps. But I could have just had LM explain to me everything about how terminal stuff works up front, then implemented it, and then I would have been in a better place. And that's probably what I'll do for a V2 of it.

Like, we're not building React apps. I struggle with this because I, like... I can't tell if I'm just heavily in some weird bias because I'm looking at a bunch of things and I'm like, wow, a TUI just like, there's so many things that could be a TUI and aren't, and it would be such a good, compelling experience. But I can't tell if it's a bias or not. But I'll give you an example of this.

So someone tweeted yesterday, just try SST. Wow, it's so great, except... it sucks that I have to like go set secrets one by one. And like, it's such an annoying process. And I agree. It is like a very annoying thing. When you add a new secret, you have to like do, or you make a new stage and you have like five secrets to the thing. It's like a pain in the ass. And obviously I'm like, Yeah.

And obviously I'm like, Yeah.
SST secret should just open a TUI that just shows you all the secrets and then it helps you type it in and like makes it very easy. And that would be a fantastic experience. But like, am I just being biased? So like doing everything from the terminal or like, is this truly a good experience? And what it like composes so well, right?

Like we have that standalone SST secret UI that's just for setting secrets. Yeah.

and then sc dev that just becomes a tab oh in your ssc in your dev yeah in your mate your what's it called thing multiplexer yeah multiplexer yeah so like every feature can be it's like it can be a pure cli command sd secret set xy or it can then be a 2e or it can be embedded in ssc dev and i'm like this feels so compelling to me

And to me, once I have that kind of thing, I'm never going to want to use something else. At the same time, I tweeted the other day that pissed off everyone. I don't know if you saw that. People got so mad at this. I was like... Oh, I didn't see it. It makes me sad that people use a VS Code terminal. Oh, I saw that tweet. I swear.

The reason I posted that is because when people use SSD dev in the VS Code terminal, there's a whole set of things that are buggy and don't work. So for me, I'm just like... man, it sucks that they don't get like the full nice experience out of it. And people, I would say understandably interpreted it as you suck for using the VS code terminal, which is fine interpreted that way.

But then the number of comments I got replied being super pissed is the part where I'm like, you're just an idiot. Like you went so far your way to get to like really be bothered by this. So on that hand, and a lot of people replied being like, I don't get it. Like that's just where you like start getting

your program like why would i like what do you mean so then i explained like my issue is that it's not that like integrated terminal in your editor makes a lot of sense i get it i just wish it was better and they're like what do you mean better like how could it be better like all i do is run like basic commands there i run npm start or whatever yeah or like you know uh it's just where you like do git commit so yeah part of me wonders like am i just making this up or is it that if i built good experiences then people would be like
