I had the same issue as you. Had to copy and paste the link.

Yeah, I did write it myself, yes. It's actually a very simple program.

I heard so many great things about ratatui. I am, however, not well versed in Rust. Only did a couple of toy little things in it.

It is interesting that somehow every conversation now pivots to LLM's. It's almost like people are paranoid or something. I have no issue with AI. But it should be used carefully when learning/working so you don't miss the little details that usually make a big difference later. But to each their own.

It is just getting tiring that people assume more and more that things were written with AI for everything. It's like, OMG, can you stop it for a second. And who cares, really. Do your due diligence, check the code and decide for yourself. But maybe, this is just projection. Or a nice way of insulting/dismissing people, which I find quite funny.

And like you said, the age of AI-assisted coding is already here. There is beauty in piping core utils together and being really productive with them. No doubt about it. But there are also new ways of computing emerging, and we should learn about that too.

Gnome has done an amazing job at this, I agree. You don't even notice this issue.

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.

That was the exact reason for it. I made my own window manager for fun and was missing a simple way of changing default apps.

I haven't thought about this. That makes sense. I will add this.

I probably haven't. :) They are a nightmare indeed. But it does help a little.

That's a fair point.
