It's unclear to me what problem Ghostty solves with existing terminal emulators. Speed isn't a real problem. Theming is a solved problem.

JS library authors, please, I am pleading with you to stop recommending `npm install -g <library_name>` in your documentation. We have much better alternatives today -- use `npx`. Thank you, and with love.

Building a new product at work - the entire stack. Working with four different languages and LOVING it. The context switch can be annoying at times (semicolons in Python ahhh) but in all honesty, it's a really validating experience when the language you're using is no longer a productivity barrier.
