> We’ll miss the feeling of holding code in our hands

I agree, I started feeling this a few months ago, where I was only writing the architecture and abstractions and letting AI fill in the gaps. It seems in the next few months it could probably do more than that. But is it so bad, I agree that I can't really mold an entire pot by my hand any more. But, if you ask AI to do it, it will create a pot with cracks in it and it would be your job to either plaster it of fill gold in those cracks.

I feel coding is going to be similar to kintsugi after this is all over

Sort of ironic. My dad coded on hole punch cards and hated it, hated th physicality of that. Now he super loves AI, having left the field 20 years ago due to language fatigue.

this is exactly what I was looking for!

this sounds cool!

OP here - So the way we rendering this we are using the braille characters that are available in the character set on the terminal.

That's interesting but not clear at all in the readme. Do you choose specific characters for their shade/coverage of each dithering cell?

ah yes, I went with the braille characters ascii values between 32 and 95.

I don't think I agree with this claim. Also, they didn't cut-off anyone. You can still use their API as you wish. It's out there for anyone who wants it.

They simply stopped people from abusing a accessibility feature that they created for their own product.

I'm not seeing how "subsidized pricing for their own product" is accessibility related.

if you make something - you want people to use it right?

>they didn't cut-off anyone

They did banned a lot people. Later, they "unbanned" them, but your comment isn't truthful.

Adding to this: socially awkward people shouldn't feel pressured to mute themselves.

> Everything being a repeat game and people on the sideline taking notes

This isn't an excuse to play small. The universe rewards courage.

also, on the markdown front, I saw this cool library https://github.com/Canop/termimad gaining popularity

Termimad author here: I’m always a bit afraid, when I see the popularity of this crate, that it might be undue and that people may lose time trying to use it when it’s probably not the tool they need.

Termimad isn’t a full-fledged TUI framework. It can be used to build TUIs (I made broot, bacon, safecloset, etc. with it), but if you want to quickly build a TUI and compose UI components and widgets, you’ll probably find it much easier to choose a real TUI framework (e.g. ratatui).

Termimad isn’t a generic Markdown viewer either. Markdown is mainly used as a language for the developer to describe parts of the interface—especially rich text—inside a TUI. People interested in rendering arbitrary Markdown files will find that it lacks features such as image rendering.

I don't know much about the GUI space. I would love your take on why did you went with egui instead of guirs

Good question! A few reasons for egui over gtk-rs/iced/others:

- Immediate mode — egui redraws every frame, which makes state management simpler (no callback hell). Great for prototyping.

- Pure Rust, minimal deps — egui is self-contained. gtk-rs requires GTK installed on the system.

- Cross-platform out of the box — Same code runs on Windows/Linux/macOS/Web

- Rapid iteration — Hot reload-friendly, easy to experiment with layouts

Trade-offs: egui's TextEdit isn't designed for code editors (no multi-cursor, can't hide folded text), which is why v0.3.0 will replace it with a custom widget.

I agree, I personal prefer simple docker runtimes over orchestration systems

I am curious, I haven't faced any major issues using claude code in my daily workflow. Never noticed any flickering either.

Why do you think opencode > CC? what are some productivity/practical implications?

Opencode has a web UI, so I can open it on my laptop and then resume the same session on the web from my phone through Tailscale. It’s pretty handy from time to time and takes almost zero effort from me.

The flickering is still happening to me. It's less frequent than before, but still does for long/big sessions.
