  • Seems the pitch is just that it supports Apple specific bells and whistles like the emoji bar and beyond that has the stuff other terminals have. I use tilda and use that because it has a critical core feature I haven’t seen in other terminals: it appears full screen over all other windows with a keypress and disappears the same way. Since I use terminal heavily I don’t want to treat it as just another window but as a first class experience which tilda allows. I don’t really get why you’d make yet another terminal without some fundamental core functionality difference like that.









  • Plus, the license was only changed on a secondary branch. The default branch still has the MIT license. The text at the top isn’t “this is the license file you have open” it’s “the repo is licensed under this” so it’s correct behavior but bad UX. It would be most user-friendly to show repo license and then also say “this branch has an invalid license, beware shenanigans”

    That makes no sense. If you join b’ and b’’ into b then the external interface of b is the union of the external interfaces of b’ and b’'. The risk of conflicts between those two interfaces is minimal in the situation they described so no need for namespacing.

    I expected the argument to be based on total effort to split then join the internal code compared to the context switching cost of splitting and then splitting again (with an appeal to agile vs waterfall). But this argument feels like they were either dealing with a language/stack with a broken module system that lacks an explicit separation of internal vs exposed or were just joining things strangely.

    Expressing a general rule based solely on a specific situation is a disservice (irony intended).
