Yeah I think some folks are seeing this and thinking the terminal is the product, when in reality the devops platform is the real product here and a slick terminal emulator is one component of that platform. Enterprises pay good money to companies like Redhat, Teleport, etc. for similar kinds of devops collaboration/security platforms.

where's the devops platform?
if all they have to offer us is the terminal, then their product is the terminal
it's a good question. today warp is a terminal as you say. the hope is that we can build a platform around the command-line, but we decided by trying to start with the terminal's fundamental UX to see if we could improve it. in order to make a platform we believe first we need a great product that folks want to use.
Everyone offering "platforms" these days. It's getting really tired and I can't be bothering to pay attention. Tools is where it's at, not platforms.

Warp wants to john deere-ify our tools. Soon you won't be able to buy a hammer or table saw without some sort of platform marketing speak and a subscription service.
