Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where ... coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant...

This is psycopathy?

Having actual competence in one's field?

Oh god we're all doomed, they'll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.

It's a joke on a tweet about a guy spending a multi-hour flight just staring straight ahead.

I've done similar things in a coffee shop before, just working on my own code, and I have actually been 'politely' asked to leave by the staff.

The staff evidently being a bunch of morons who thought I was... hacking into ... something?

They didn't know what, but they were very concerned.

I was unable to convince them I was not, because 'terminal' = 'hacking' to idiots who only know anything about computers via movies and tv shows.

To be fair my wife is a smart lady, but she still thinks I'm invoking some arcane hacking magic when I'm messing around in the terminal.
