Nice, but problem with all these AI coded TUI's is we will have hundreds of them, best to stick to the built in linux commands, add aliases/abbreviations (fish) if required, do you need a TUI for everything? Sometimes the answer to "Should I write this?" Is no

I do agree with some of your sentiment. But by that logic, nothing would ever be made.

The same goes with aliases. Why not just use the actual commands. You give it your best shot, and sometimes something good comes out. And sometimes it's crap. That's life.

And I made it for fun and to learn something. And it wasn't AI coded. It's like 200 lines. I wanted to learn termbox2.h a bit more than I already had.

Let people make and use what they want, you don’t have to use it.

The nice thing about AI coded TUIs is they're so easy to make you can make the ones that suit you yourself and ignore the rest.

I absolutely fail to see the problem and I think the whole "best to stick to built in linux commands" is an utterly dinosaur-esque take that can, and will, and should, go extinct in the age of AI-assisted coding.

reading the code, what make you think it was vibe coded?
