Me too, because a lot of storage infrastructures need terminal.

Doesn't everyone?

for me, it's less 'still' and more 'again'. claude code + API tokens means i no longer have to suffer the user-hostile design of many webpages. using full-screen claude code feels like finding my old DOS teddy from childhood buried in the back of a closet.

Absolutely!

terminal is the only way for me... 100% control year after year.

>alias gp='git push' I prefer CLI over GUI but I also prefer to have a life over making my life harder. On that same context, I prefer nano over vi/vim any time. Now, the problem with aliases is that the more you use the more addicted you get. If you have to touch another terminal without those aliases, you will automatically try the aliases you are used to or create them so you can do whatever you have to do. Meaning, it is not a practice easy to transfer to other environment. zsh + auto complete makes your life a lot easier and you won't forget the commands.

For some reason, I can only scroll down a little bit on medium articles and then firefox freezes that tab and won't let me scroll up or down. I assume it has something to do with adblock, but I've noticed it a lot recently.
