alt Hacker NewsWhat workflow involves opening hundreds of shells every day? Like, I've got a half dozen shells open at any given time, and sometimes I gotta refresh or reboot, but even on my worst day in looking at two dozen.
How do you get to hundreds?

I use a lot of short-lived terminals. I have zsh+foot configured so that ctrl+shift+n opens a new terminal with the same current directory, so when using Vim, that's as fast as putting Vim in background, but I can tile both windows easily.
I never have more than a one or two dozen terminals at a time, but I definitely open hundred of short-lived ones.

Temporary splits to run code close to the editor, tmux popups (they open lazygit or file manager on top of the current tab). Debug runs, where I want to preserve their output for some time, so I keep them in separate tabs.
