XML is just so much hassle to parse securely, and it is extremely difficult to get right.

This makes me sad to see this. The economic implications of this is catastrophic and unfortunately people who are in the middle of warzones get squeezed and suffer from famines.

There are a lot of TUIs in existence worth looking at if one is interested or curious about them [0], [1], [2]

Even before Claude Code, I always see htop as the prime example of a good TUI.

That is kind of what I was thinking too, and cross-compilation is still the fastest way to build for a different target.

What use-cases are there for gVisor on Raspbian, given that the target is a Raspberry Pi?

If you want inspiration on all kinds of TUIs on show and display Terminal Trove [1] is useful to get an idea for what other tools look like.

I find the search [2] also helpful.

Same! Really appreciate this find, thanks!

Looks cool and this can be self hosted and it is for free.

Nice will try this out!

Maybe not, but in the past some here see that the blog is the product that is being promoted here.

Even in this thread alone https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47314929 some commenters here are clearly annoyed with the way AI is being shoved in each place where they do not want it.

I don't care, but I can see why many here are getting tired of it.

As a principal engineer I feel completely let down. I've spent decades building up and accumulating expert knowledge and now that has been massively devalued. Any idiot can now prompt their way to the same software. I feel depressed and very unmotivated and expect to retire soon. Talk about a rug pull!

Really?

The vibe coders are running into a dark forest with a bunch of lobsters (OpenClaw) getting lost and confused in their own tech debt and you're saying they can prompt their way to the same software?

Someone just ended up wiping their entire production database with Claude and you believe that your experience is for nothing, towards companies that need stable infrastructure and predictability.

Cognitive debt is a real thing and being unable to read / write code that is broken is going to be an increasing problem which experienced engineers can solve.

Do not fall for the AI agent hype.

Thanks for sharing this book.

This is my concern with Notepad and the old one will just be gone for ever. Same thing happened with paint.

Never seen this before and looks great.

How often does this get updated?

It has been years since I have heard of this. Looks great!

This looks related to Awesome CLIs/TUIs and terminal trove which has lots both CLI and TUI apps.

Awesome TUIs: https://github.com/rothgar/awesome-tuis

Awesome CLIs: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps

Terminal Trove: https://terminaltrove.com/

I guess this is another one shows that the CLI and Unix is coming back in 2026.

Interested to see Anthropic do this sort of move, but it's very useful to see.

Sharp still standing strong more than 100 years later in Japan. Didn't know they made personal computers back then

Some of my personal favourites TUI are all over GitHub and there are lots of them to have a look at can be found here:

Building for Charm, ratatui and many others is really getting much easier than before thanks to AI.

Don't know about if Sleep Sort even is a valid sorting algorithm? Is this even real?

The truth the employers won't admit is that there is just too much money in this industry for very little effort.

Why do you think that famous employees get straight offers without doing anything verses many engineers still getting leetcoded and get left with no offer despite being over-qualified?

Soham was able to pass most programming assessments so well, the folks at bookface were discussing to ban him from applying to their startups.

You can see that another system has been created to make sure that the role is reserved for friends of the founder, ex-collegues of another team over an extremely qualified engineer out of no where.

As with everything, it depends. Live coding interviews work. They’re not the best candidate experience, but they work at Meta, Google scale, minimizing false positives better than most other formats. What makes them stressful is the lack of interviewer training and the abstract, puzzle-like nature of the problems, which you can really only solve if you’ve spent time studying (e.g., LeetCode) or you’re fresh out of college or academia.

They work (for some) and leet-code weeds out the frauds that really cannot problem solve and assesses those who have not built anything to show to justify not doing it and can be applied to companies that are joining from an acquisition.

The perfect solution, in my view, would be an assessment where the candidate feels relaxed and able to perform at their best, knowing that every other candidate in the pool has the same constraints in terms of time and tooling. It’s a tough problem to solve.

And that would be the fairest one which is to do the leetcode interview in person on a projected whiteboard and pair programming with the interviewer.

Very relaxing.

Important update

Any title that starts with that is never a good update.

Many developers had no problem using .NET and C# in production despite them starting out as closed-source for years.

What does this mean for UK businesses and startups, is it still a great place to start a company or would the US be better as a european founder?

Not a bookshelf, but it reminds me of something that Stripe did something similar here which is equally as cool.

An exhaustive list of comparisons are on this single page too.

Yeah, I had the same thought for that use-case. Was thinking of using the 'Display Hat Mini' though.

Looks far easier to install on my Raspberry Pi. You can find it here https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/display-hat-mini

Nice, looks really cool! Would have a look at trying this out!

The other day I found many TUI tools on a site called Terminal Trove:

https://terminaltrove.com/

And it also features a great list of them here that many might not have heard of.

https://terminaltrove.com/list/

For example trippy and nvtop look very nice for TUIs and other 'top' based tools they have listed there.

https://terminaltrove.com/nvtop/

There's screenshots and install instructions that's also convenient.

Investors, at any stage.

They seem to only invest in those who they know in the valley, ex-FAANG, ex-Ivy League or Stanford, and do not consider anybody else who doesn't fit that they cannot easily pattern match.

And I don't even need that much money to raise, just ~$2M to boot.

It's hard out there.
