I mean, SSH works out of the box with VS Code, sure, but still like.
You're tied to this.
And we had an experiment, an internal one, about a desktop application.
So like a standalone application.
And turns out, yes, that's great to have multiple agents, but you also have to reinvent everything that right now a terminal gives you for free.
Right.
If I use Ghost or ITerm or Vestterm or whatever, I can command N, Command T, I get tabs, you know, splits, different environments per tab.
You can C D interdirectories, you can set
N fires, you get this for free, right?
And if you do it in a desktop application, then you run into the issue of you know what people see with like a lot of the async agents.
Oh, you run it, run the task, set the n fares, which directory you have to be in, what's you know, what's in the path, whatnot.
You have to do this beforehand and in the terminal you get it for free.
So that's kind of the short version of it that um we started with BS Code because it was easy.
And it gave a lot of feedback.
We could concentrate on the stuff that matters and not worry about stuff like distribution, which VS Code takes care of.
And then with the emergence of CLIs, we noticed that it's a big, big improvement.
Or there's other advantages to it.
So now then we rebuilt the CLI twice.
And now we have like a really nice TUI with our own framework.
And the one interesting thing is our VS Code extension has a lot of advantages over.
