features. 00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:29.540 I want to just set the stage before I throw it to you, Calvin. 00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:34.680 This episode is something that we came up with is like, you know, Calvin's joined the show. 00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:41.000 It's kind of a slightly different take, you know, and let's just kick it off rather than 00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:43.760 going around and find a bunch of other tools people are talking about. 00:02:43.820 --> 00:02:49.820 Like, let's just do a check-in on the tools that we're using because we love them so much. 00:02:49.940 --> 00:02:51.240 Like, that's why we're part of the show. 00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:51.580 I know. 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:53.020 No. And it's just never ending. 00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:57.820 I had trouble sleeping last night because I was trying to pick my favorite tools to put into the list. 00:02:58.020 --> 00:03:00.700 Like it was running through my brain as I was falling asleep. 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:03.560 I honestly, I had a hard time too. 00:03:03.710 --> 00:03:06.160 And it's like, well, which one of your kids do you really like? 00:03:06.980 --> 00:03:07.700 It's so true though. 00:03:09.660 --> 00:03:10.880 Well, we're going to find out. 00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:14.420 This one also comes a little bit, you threw this out there, 00:03:14.450 --> 00:03:17.580 but this also comes a little bit by special request from me because I'm like, 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.860 I've been hearing about this and I know that you do this, Calvin. 00:03:20.040 --> 00:03:22.280 So tell me about Pi and the other things. 00:03:22.540 --> 00:03:22.740 Yeah. 00:03:22.850 --> 00:03:23.000 Okay. 00:03:23.110 --> 00:03:26.980 So the first one I picked was a combination of two tools. 00:03:27.430 --> 00:03:31.560 The first one being Pi, which is the orchestrating agentic harness. 00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:37.020 And the other thing I compare with it is superpowers, which I'll talk about here in a minute. 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:40.420 But I'm definitely a terminal first person. 00:03:40.430 --> 00:03:42.460 I always have been, even since college. 00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:48.580 When I first got introduced to the terminal and typed vi tutor for the very first time, I was hooked. 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.340 So obviously that gives you a slant for my bias towards these things. 00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:54.580 And I've tried IDEs now and then. 00:03:54.690 --> 00:03:55.780 And I mean, they've gotten better. 00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:58.880 They've gotten really good for doing agentic AI stuff. 00:03:59.250 --> 00:04:01.520 I still will go fiddle with them and play. 00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:07.420 And I've been using anti-gravity and codecs and like Claude's co-work, which gives you 00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:08.980 kind of that UI wrapper around them. 00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:12.680 But there's still just something about the terminal that really gets me excited. 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:18.120 And I don't know if it's just the rawness of it or the control or how I feel about it. 00:04:18.299 --> 00:04:21.120 Maybe it's the minimalism of it, which if you know me, 00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:23.720 I'm not necessarily a super minimalist person, 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:24.640 but I'm opinionated. 00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:26.820 And I think that the terminal gives me that power 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:27.940 to be very opinionated. 00:04:27.960 --> 00:04:31.680 And so Pi is a terminal first open source coding agent. 00:04:32.280 --> 00:04:35.100 So you can customize it and build it and make it yours. 00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:37.780 I think that's what really drew me to Pi 00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:39.860 was I've been playing with codecs 00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:41.720 and I've been playing with Claude Code 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.840 and not to poo-poo some other people's favorite tools. 00:04:45.380 --> 00:04:47.140 This one is just stripped back. 00:04:47.420 --> 00:04:48.480 I think this is actually one of the reasons 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.400 why I liked Ader chat when I first started using 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.360 some of these agentic tooling, 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:54.980 was Ader again was kind of less opinionated 00:04:55.460 --> 00:04:57.200 and bring your own pieces to it 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.220 to make it the thing you exactly want to be. 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.900 Some nice things about Pi is that it's very session management 00:05:03.940 --> 00:05:05.380 as a first class citizen here. 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.920 You can rewind and start from any place 00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:10.220 in that tree of your session as you're going through 00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:11.620 and building the code. 00:05:11.760 --> 00:05:14.220 So how many times have you gone down a rabbit hole 00:05:14.700 --> 00:05:16.739 only to be like, ooh, that was not where I wanted 00:05:16.760 --> 00:05:22.080 agent to land or the model to land on certain things you can rewind up just branch off of that 00:05:22.260 --> 00:05:28.460 point and keep going the extensions model is incredibly uh composable it's almost aggressively 00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:33.700 composable although i use it in a very minimal way it doesn't come with things like subagents out of 00:05:33.700 --> 00:05:37.380 the box it doesn't come with issue trackers out of the box it doesn't come with much out of the box 00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:43.459 which is why from a context window standpoint you build it and make it what you want it to be so i 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:49.600 use it with superpowers so combining superpowers which is a spec driven development uh tool so 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.520 you've probably heard i've talked about spec kit before on some of my linkedin videos i've actually 00:05:54.620 --> 00:05:58.700 moved over to superpowers because i feel like it's a little more lightweight combined with pi it 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:03.580 basically detects your hey you're building some software i see you're building like clippy like 00:06:03.630 --> 00:06:09.219 see you're building some software there uh let's uh take a step back and try and figure out exactly 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.360 what you're trying to do. So it's basically a workflow that runs you through brainstorming, 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:20.980 planning, execution, verification, review, and then committing and merging through that whole process. 00:06:21.410 --> 00:06:26.160 And just it'll ask you questions, it'll propose options, and it seems that these things aren't 00:06:26.270 --> 00:06:31.400 magic, they are just stacks of markdown skills on your file system. But I like the way it 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:36.840 interoperates at that kind of bare bones level with Pi. So where Pi, I feel like Pi, in the 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.420 agentic coding tool space. Pi is the one that hands you the keys to the car versus the guardrails 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.720 that are put in place by a lot of the other tools. So it may not be for everyone. It's definitely a 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.460 little more power user thing. And Michael, you've not tried it out yet at all? I have not tried 00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:58.580 either of these. Oh, superpowers. Again, lightweight, fun. I tend to be, I try to be token efficient, 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:04.739 which again, the branching piece allows me to back up and not, I think people get stuck in a trap 00:07:04.760 --> 00:07:10.460 sometimes they fall down a hole and just burn more tokens trying to get out uh and right right no 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.240 you're doing the wrong way keep no no i wanted you to do this right of just just just back up 00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:21.460 rewinding time like that didn't happen time travel is amazing yeah so i'm a believer of skills and 00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:26.900 certainly things like superpowers which my understanding is kind of like harness plus a 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:32.520 bunch of skills that you can use and so on and i think the reason i haven't tried i'm trying to 00:07:32.460 --> 00:07:36.040 like why haven't i tried this yet well let me give you two reasons and i'll i'm interested to hear 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:42.860 what you think one there's just so many of these things that are like i have the magic that makes 00:07:43.080 --> 00:07:48.580 ai work if you just use my seven markdown files it's going to be amazing you know what i mean and 00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:55.480 there's like a million of them and i'm sure 95 of them are junk but this one i think is really like 00:07:55.520 --> 00:08:00.040 go to the top of your page here how many stars does this have oh it's uh just a couple right yeah 00:08:00.220 --> 00:08:04.040 Yeah, just a few, 229,000 stars on it. 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.100 So I feel like maybe, maybe this one actually might have a little momentum. 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.580 In polish, right? 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.380 Like, not just one person's opinion and they did something and it works, 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.400 but they could have done almost anything and it would have worked better, you know. 00:08:15.700 --> 00:08:18.060 I highlighted right here, like this part's really nice. 00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:20.920 Just out of the box, test-driven development, red-green, 00:08:21.020 --> 00:08:23.820 and it shows you in the UI, like it's like tests are red, 00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:26.160 you know, verifying, testing went green. 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.940 And then the fact is it thinks more like, I think, as a developer. 00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:36.680 the whole Yagni and dry. A lot of the other coding agents, I believe are just make it go no matter 00:08:36.800 --> 00:08:41.020 what, like put it in a loop and see how much stuff you can crank out. And I feel like this is a little 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.540 more just efficient in the way I would think about it myself. And obviously I'm reviewing the code as 00:08:45.640 --> 00:08:48.760 it's going through. I'm actually building something with Pi right now in the background. 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:56.280 Nice. Okay. I love it. But I use it to pull off like quick little tools. Like if I've thought 00:08:56.260 --> 00:09:00.700 about a tool, I'm just immediately go over to brainstorm and at least bookmark it into a small 00:09:00.810 --> 00:09:04.160 little project so that I can start building a quick little tool. Right now I'm building a tool 00:09:04.210 --> 00:09:10.420 that synchronizes my messages from my Mac or my phone to our CRM. Because I was like, I don't feel 00:09:10.430 --> 00:09:14.740 like copy pasting anymore. That's awesome. Yeah, that is such a cool, that's a whole nother topic. 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:19.320 This hyper personal software stuff is super interesting. Like I'm not going to publish it, 00:09:19.560 --> 00:09:23.280 but it's going to make my life better. Yeah. Yeah. So you can get Pi. There's a one liner here. 00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:27.020 They've obviously got many different ways you can install it. 00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:28.460 But I would check it out. 00:09:29.319 --> 00:09:30.640 You need to be careful. 00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:32.640 It is definitely the keys to the car. 00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:33.640 You have full control. 00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:35.180 You can build exactly what you want. 00:09:35.380 --> 00:09:35.580 Nice. 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.380 So Pi is an agent harness. 00:09:37.620 --> 00:09:40.800 A little bit like Claude code is to Claude itself, right? 00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:41.180 Yeah. 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.580 And so I can run Claude in Pi? 00:09:44.300 --> 00:09:46.600 You can run Claude code. 00:09:46.660 --> 00:09:46.780 No. 00:09:47.260 --> 00:09:51.640 I can use Claude Opus as one of my agents while I'm doing Pi, for example. 00:09:52.060 --> 00:09:52.420 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:09:52.660 --> 00:09:54.160 So Pi, you bring your own models. 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.080 You want to bring Gemini. 00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:58.120 You want to bring OpenAI models, 00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.360 Anthropic models. 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.580 You want to use Ollama with your local models. 00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:05.360 Feel free to pull out Gemma 4 and go to town. 00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.200 I recommend LFM 2.5, 00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:10.520 the new liquid AI models. 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:12.980 If it's tool using, 00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:14.980 Pi will use them. 00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:15.400 Awesome. 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.360 If Apple would just ship a new Mac Studio Max, 00:10:19.560 --> 00:10:20.280 I'll tell you what, 00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:21.660 I would be running some larger models. 00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:24.200 Well, the announcements from Apple last week, 00:10:24.520 --> 00:10:25.680 pretty exciting, right? 00:10:26.259 --> 00:10:27.420 That's a whole other news item, 00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:30.740 but I think there's some exciting things coming at the Edge 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.040 when the Edge being your workstation. 00:10:33.300 --> 00:10:34.920 Yeah, 100%, I totally agree. 00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:37.120 It's just beginning, it's just beginning. 00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:40.160 For so long, it's like, well, your computer's basically 00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:43.200 just a view to a browser, which is a view to a server. 00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:45.080 And it's kind of rolling back a little bit. 00:10:45.280 --> 00:10:47.780 I'll talk more about that later in my follow on tools. 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:49.780 Okay, awesome, awesome. 00:10:50.280 --> 00:10:54.120 Well, let's warp ahead a little because I want to talk about warp. 00:10:54.250 --> 00:10:57.000 And I think there's a couple people out there who are just curious, 00:10:57.630 --> 00:10:59.200 like trying to detect a theme or like, 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:01.780 what do we find important as people have been doing this for a long time? 00:11:02.010 --> 00:11:04.860 We both have AI topics and we both have terminal topics. 00:11:07.300 --> 00:11:09.260 So I think that's noteworthy. 00:11:09.770 --> 00:11:12.160 So my right now, for the last couple of years, 00:11:12.290 --> 00:11:15.220 I've been using warp from warp.dev. 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.580 And it's a really nice or fresh take on the terminal. 00:11:19.820 --> 00:11:23.420 It's not just, oh, this one has GPU acceleration or whatever. 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.280 And I know this is a little bit different than your take, 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:27.840 which I'm also very excited for, Calvin. 00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:31.280 But if you go look at it, it's like every piece of software these days. 00:11:31.760 --> 00:11:33.520 Oh, you can ship software with an agent. 00:11:33.640 --> 00:11:35.060 Like, I thought this was a terminal. 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:36.480 What in the world is going on here? 00:11:36.560 --> 00:11:37.040 You know what I mean? 00:11:38.079 --> 00:11:41.000 But it has some kind of agentic stuff. 00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:42.840 I barely have used it before. 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:44.880 I mean, it's like, oh, this Linux command didn't work. 00:11:44.900 --> 00:11:46.160 Like, why didn't this Linux command work? 00:11:46.300 --> 00:11:47.340 Like, you forgot the dash F. 00:11:47.380 --> 00:11:47.860 Oh, yeah, okay. 00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:53.460 But I think there's better agentic tools than this warp for the terminal. 00:11:53.900 --> 00:11:55.180 But you can just turn those off. 00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:59.100 It's a really nice terminal with a lot of different angles on how you work. 00:11:59.420 --> 00:12:01.460 It's got some team collaboration features. 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:05.560 It has really nice predictive capabilities. 00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:09.700 So if you go to type something, if you type two letters, 00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:13.100 it might suggest if you just right arrow, not tab complete, 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.880 because it's what you've recently done or something like that. 00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:27.520 But just, hey, we think you might be doing this whole command here that we've seen you do sort of AI-like, sort of like an AI line completion, you know, like GitHub Copilot initially was, but for the terminal. 00:12:27.670 --> 00:12:28.600 And that's super helpful. 00:12:29.020 --> 00:12:30.540 Anyway, I just, I think it's a really nice. 00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:32.280 I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:39.680 I guess my level of control might not be ready to give up to write erroring over or even using the arrow keys at all. 00:12:39.900 --> 00:12:40.240 I know. 00:12:41.580 --> 00:12:42.440 Well, you know what's nice? 00:12:42.790 --> 00:12:43.320 It has. 00:12:43.650 --> 00:12:45.000 So this is part one. 00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:49.160 We both have a couple of multi-part things like your Pi and superpowers. 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:54.860 So my part two is OhMyZShell, which is an old standard, but I love it so much. 00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:03.780 So what I'm doing is I'm running warp, but then I turn off their terminal magic and just run OhMyZShell and do mostly OhMyZShell things. 00:13:04.280 --> 00:13:11.820 So if people open up a terminal and it looks like the default thing that came out of their computer, it's probably really not a good thing. 00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:15.940 And I've been a ZSH user for ages. 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:17.460 I can't tell you how excited I've been 00:13:17.460 --> 00:13:19.620 that this kind of has become more popular. 00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:22.540 Yeah, yeah, it's definitely, I'm 100%. 00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:24.360 I'm very, very excited about it as well. 00:13:24.380 --> 00:13:26.240 And it's been just solid for years. 00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:28.460 And if you open up your tournament on just, 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:30.740 maybe it was white and you turned it black 00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:33.360 because that was bad, but it's just the basic thing. 00:13:33.540 --> 00:13:35.380 You know, for Linux or for Mac, 00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:37.460 and especially if using Command Prompt, 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:39.040 there's so much room for growth. 00:13:39.300 --> 00:13:40.920 There's so much room for something better. 00:13:41.180 --> 00:13:43.520 So you don't have to necessarily pick what we're picking here. 00:13:43.660 --> 00:13:46.540 Just look around because the defaults are usually not good. 00:13:46.700 --> 00:13:48.480 And so, for example, like why is OhMyZShell, 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.720 even inside a warp with little like other stuff that it could do, 00:13:52.040 --> 00:13:52.460 why is it cool? 00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:55.400 So I could go to like a Git repository, CD in there, 00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:57.520 and it'll show me what branch I'm on. 00:13:57.700 --> 00:14:01.060 Are there changes in that repo, right? 00:14:01.140 --> 00:14:03.580 And it'll put that in your prompt. 00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:05.660 It'll also show you if there's a virtual environment. 00:14:05.810 --> 00:14:06.460 Is it activated? 00:14:06.860 --> 00:14:08.040 What version of Python is it? 00:14:08.280 --> 00:14:10.480 All those things are cool from OhMyZShell. 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.420 But then you could do things like get branch tab, 00:14:13.660 --> 00:14:16.080 and it will list all of the branches locally 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.780 and all the branches on your server that you could check out 00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:20.700 or get checkout, whatever. 00:14:21.900 --> 00:14:24.880 It'll understand way deeper into your projects 00:14:24.900 --> 00:14:27.040 and not just, say, autocomplete files. 00:14:27.340 --> 00:14:29.880 So it's an opinionated layer on top of CSH. 00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:33.120 I've got my own set of.files that I've carried with me 00:14:33.140 --> 00:14:36.080 for the last 20 years, and so I've never gone full 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.280 oh my ZSH because I don't know how they would work together. 00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:45.900 yeah that's definitely a challenge most of my stuff has grown up around oh my z shell oh my 00:14:46.020 --> 00:14:51.440 zsh and so it's i've i've managed to incorporate but you have you see you're having the same problem 00:14:51.540 --> 00:14:56.360 that i have with superpowers i have like so much structure around my ai stuff i'm like i don't know 00:14:56.400 --> 00:15:01.720 how to make these exist coexist as well as they should you know yeah yeah but and i have an extra 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.959 i'll talk about that makes my zsh do most of that stuff just with one one little trick just let me 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.620 awesome let me just throw what was sort of a round out this part it's not even on my list 00:15:11.760 --> 00:15:18.320 but i just now i feel like it's i should have it so pls i love pls i'm a big fan there we go 00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:25.940 a prettier one and so a prettier ls and it's just so the uh website for it is not uh at least the 00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:31.780 repo is not amazing but yeah like just ls show me what files have changed in git show me you know 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.260 what type of file they are with an icon as you would find in like finder or explorer or whatever 00:15:36.260 --> 00:15:41.620 I think that one belongs in this, I'm going to now call it a trifecta of those three things. 00:15:41.940 --> 00:15:44.900 But I thought about why these are important to us. 00:15:45.150 --> 00:15:58.560 Like as developers, like these workstations, like our MacBook Pro or your Linux machine or Windows machine, whatever it is, it's like that is your life to making, you know, providing for your family or whatever you do. 00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:10.020 I feel like tricking it out and making it your own, if it just provides a next, like all these things just basically layer on top of one another into building this kind of perfect experience for you as a developer. 00:16:10.090 --> 00:16:16.580 And these little creature comforts like PLS or like I mentioned Starship later for my Powerline piece. 00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:23.340 But it just makes the environment feel friendly and easy to use and just more seamless. 00:16:23.400 --> 00:16:25.420 So I love bringing these things together. 00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:30.560 And I don't want to shame anyone who doesn't do this, but why aren't you? 00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:31.460 Like, it's here. 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.760 People have built these beautiful things. 00:16:34.180 --> 00:16:38.280 Yeah, definitely not about shame, but I think it's just like, hey, if you're not doing this, 00:16:38.420 --> 00:16:41.680 there's a great opportunity to make a whole lot of cool tools that start going for you. 00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:42.880 Yeah, 100%. 00:16:42.920 --> 00:16:43.460 Yep, definitely. 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:49.020 This portion of Talk Python To Me is brought to you by Sentry and Sear AI. 00:16:49.660 --> 00:16:52.160 There are plenty of AI tools that help you write code. 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.400 but Sentry Seer is built to help you fix it when it breaks. 00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:56.880 The difference is context. 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.820 Seer isn't just guessing based on syntax. 00:17:00.140 --> 00:17:02.220 It's analyzing your actual Sentry data, 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.540 your stack traces, logs, and failure patterns. 00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:06.560 Because it has the full context, 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.680 it can A, spot buggy code in review 00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:11.339 and help prevent issues before they happen, 00:17:11.959 --> 00:17:14.760 and B, identify the root cause of production errors. 00:17:15.699 --> 00:17:17.800 It can even draft a fix and hand the work off 00:17:17.800 --> 00:17:20.300 to an agent-like cursor to open a PR for you. 00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:22.860 Seer turns Sentry into a complete loop. 00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:26.220 You have your traces, errors, logs, and replays to see the problem, 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.040 and now AI to help solve it. 00:17:28.280 --> 00:17:32.620 Join millions of devs at companies like Claude, Disney+, and even Talk Python, 00:17:33.040 --> 00:17:34.280 who use Sentry to move faster. 00:17:34.780 --> 00:17:37.520 Check them out at talkpython.fm/sentry 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:43.520 and use code Talk Python26, all one word, for $100 in Sentry credits. 00:17:44.040 --> 00:17:45.900 Thank you to Sentry for supporting Talk Python. 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.340 Like a cat? What is the deal with this? 00:17:49.580 --> 00:17:50.240 Like a kitty? 00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:57.560 Kitty. Oh, Kitty's a, so I'm a longtime Kitty terminal user. I've seen Ghosty and Cmux and all 00:17:57.600 --> 00:18:01.920 these other new fancy, well, Warp kind of came in there as one people had said, well, why don't you 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:08.180 use Warp instead? I have really enjoyed Kitty as a terminal, mostly because I do move back and forth 00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:15.659 between machines. Like I'm on a Mac right now, but I have a Linux framework desktop sitting over here 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:20.800 beside me, which is really powerful. And so I'm regularly moving back and forth between multiple 00:18:21.340 --> 00:18:25.880 environments, multiple OSs. And some of the things I like to keep the same between and consistent 00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:31.740 between them is like my terminal. So Kitty is a GPU accelerated terminal. You may ask why the heck 00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:36.760 would you want a GPU accelerated terminal? It scrolls like nobody's business. And when you get 00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.440 TMux running in there, and actually one of the nice things about Kitty, you don't even need TMux. 00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:45.640 It actually comes with its own window muxing system built into it, which I've actually started 00:18:45.660 --> 00:18:51.500 on my Mac. I may switch back over to Tmux because of some of my other opinions about how I want to 00:18:51.620 --> 00:18:57.180 use that Linux machine for more things than just being available when I'm on the Linux machine. 00:18:57.780 --> 00:19:04.480 But you get that ability to do the powerful layouts and tiling and scroll back buffers. 00:19:04.910 --> 00:19:11.120 It's just a nice thing is it runs the same on Mac and Windows and Linux. So I install the same one 00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:16.100 everywhere I land and I'm basically at home because I'm very terminal first about a lot of 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:24.580 this. So it gives me that performance and feel. Performance is a big feature. I think that tools 00:19:24.780 --> 00:19:31.800 like Ruff and uv have proven to us that the fastest speed as a developer is staying out of 00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:36.540 our way as we're thinking through problems and I don't want the terminal to be one of those laggy 00:19:36.560 --> 00:19:41.540 bit. So for my Mac and for my Linux machine, I'm using Kitty Terminal. When I'm traveling on the 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:47.580 road, I use the Blink browser. I think I've got a Blink tab open here someplace. Did I open that up? 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.140 Nope, that's my Tmux tab. Where did I put all this stuff? I've got too many tabs open. 00:19:53.260 --> 00:19:55.780 While you're looking, tell people what this Muxing is. 00:19:56.080 --> 00:20:02.980 Yeah. So when you are in a, I like single windows too. So browsers that give me multiple profiles 00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:04.060 across a single window, 00:20:04.520 --> 00:20:06.060 that's basically what I get with my terminal. 00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:09.020 I can actually have one terminal window open, 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:10.740 not a bazillion terminal windows 00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:11.760 cluttering up my desktop. 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.360 And inside that one terminal window, 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.800 I've basically got tabs like you would have in a browser. 00:20:15.970 --> 00:20:18.240 And then those tabs can now be further split down 00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:20.660 into tiles that I wanna be working on. 00:20:20.760 --> 00:20:22.900 So if I'm in one terminal window 00:20:22.950 --> 00:20:25.800 and I've got mypy open on the bottom, 00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:27.500 I've got a shell open on the top, 00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:30.380 maybe I've got broot open on the left side, 00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:33.220 browsing the file structure. 00:20:33.830 --> 00:20:37.080 I got lazy git auto refreshing in another one 00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:38.360 so I can see the file changes 00:20:38.520 --> 00:20:40.300 as the agent is editing the files. 00:20:40.370 --> 00:20:43.080 I can monitor actively what the diffs are 00:20:43.340 --> 00:20:45.080 all in a single terminal experience. 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:47.380 That's what muxing gives you. 00:20:47.430 --> 00:20:49.320 And so Kitty gives it to you out of the box. 00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:52.620 tmux gives it to you as an add-on to any system 00:20:52.820 --> 00:20:53.860 you would be running on. 00:20:54.060 --> 00:20:57.700 The benefit of tmux is you're gonna be able to leave, 00:20:58.180 --> 00:21:00.660 detach from that session and reattach to it later. 00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:02.300 And that's where this comes in. 00:21:02.900 --> 00:21:06.100 For my iPad and my iOS experience, I use Blink Shell. 00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:10.140 So Blink Shell is a fully power tool, 00:21:10.340 --> 00:21:14.160 power user version of a terminal on iOS and for the iPad. 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.300 It does give you a shell on the iPad, 00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:21.380 but more usefully, it's actually a SSH and Mosh client. 00:21:21.560 --> 00:21:23.880 So Mosh is another piece that I use for this. 00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:27.040 Mosh is the mobile shell that gives me the ability 00:21:27.060 --> 00:21:33.720 to connect over unreliable connections, terrible Wi-Fi, putting your computer to sleep, traveling 00:21:33.820 --> 00:21:38.680 to another network or coffee shop, opening the computer up, and it's like nothing happened. 00:21:38.840 --> 00:21:40.940 Like you're still connected over your SSH session. 00:21:41.360 --> 00:21:46.920 It just has adapted and figured out how to keep you connected and keep the bits flowing 00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:49.600 back and forth between your terminal and where you're at. 00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:55.720 So I can start on my Mac right here, have a session running on my framework desktop over 00:21:55.740 --> 00:22:00.540 on my other desk over here and then go to a coffee shop and jump on my ipad and reattach into that 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:05.540 same tmux session and now i'm i'm using the same agents all the pieces that were working over there 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:10.600 we're all working uh just together for one another so that's the combination of like blink shell 00:22:11.020 --> 00:22:18.160 kitty shell mosh and if i go into uh mosh let's see here the mosh mobile shell oh that one's over 00:22:18.300 --> 00:22:24.680 in the other window of course there we go the mobile shell again that allows that whole roaming 00:22:24.780 --> 00:22:29.840 internet connectivity if you're using ssh you should probably be using mosh you'll have a much 00:22:30.040 --> 00:22:35.400 better experience it's much less fragile when it comes to keeping those connections going and then 00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:39.680 tmux for attaching and reattaching and having multiple sessions so you could have if you've got 00:22:39.690 --> 00:22:43.320 five clients you could have five tmux sessions running and you can just choose to attach to one 00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:48.340 of them and jump back in exactly where you're at yeah it's it's like you're constructing a little 00:22:48.650 --> 00:22:53.980 little ide source but a custom ide setup but out of terminal bits which it sounds like exactly we 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:57.800 want to live. That's cool. And I want to be able to travel with just my iPad. I don't like carrying 00:22:58.260 --> 00:23:03.360 a large laptop around if I can avoid it. Yeah. This is a perennial desire that's always a bit 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:08.800 tricky to accomplish. And one thing about Blink that I didn't mention, it does come with a VS Code 00:23:09.060 --> 00:23:14.900 embedded in it. So if you actually just type code from the Blink shell, it will fire up a VS Code 00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:19.280 session there and allow you to connect on the iPad and allow you to connect to code spaces. 00:23:19.800 --> 00:23:25.380 So you can actually use remote compute from GitHub over Blink if you go through all the hoops. 00:23:25.430 --> 00:23:27.260 There are some hoops, but it does work. 00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:28.000 I've done it. 00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:28.540 That's awesome. 00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.080 Wow. 00:23:29.130 --> 00:23:29.220 Okay. 00:23:29.580 --> 00:23:34.820 I have a quick, I have one more thing to talk about here on my terminal side is my app actually 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:40.380 that I built, Command Book, which I use this thing every single day, which is why I build it. 00:23:40.380 --> 00:23:41.520 Because I'm like, why does this not exist? 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.040 Which lets you take things that are just long running. 00:23:44.420 --> 00:23:46.600 If you just want to kick them off and get it out of your terminal. 00:23:46.650 --> 00:23:48.600
