Interesting how the show their work results in a completely differnt way. I'm looking at it, because the C, C++ and the Rust interface are my working area. I love TUIs and think they are used to less. Easy usage, concise overview and high efficiency. TUIs seem to naturally restrict itself, keep tight to the task and therefore work better. Mileage may vary well ;)

Restraint is a great tool for engineers. When you can't to everything, you focus on what matters the most.

I used to have an IBM 3151 terminal on my desk (I wish I could afford a 3278/9 or 3290) connected over 9600 bps to my workstation. It's a great to remind me to keep things simple.

I have the same one on my desk, for the same reason.
