Readit Newszachlloyd commented on Warp terminal – no more login required warp.dev/blog/lifting-log... · Posted by u/zachlloyd
I remember seeing this terminal emulator, deciding to give it a shot to see what the deal is, and being asked to sign in. I have never uninstalled a program faster in my life.
I think I'll just stick to iTerm.
fair criticism, and this is the reason we removed the login requirement.
just to clarify though, the point of the login is that we have features that cost money to provide like AI and collaboration, not anything more nefarious, but i get that it's a new behavior and reasonable devs might not like it.

Hi HN - I'm the author of this post. It's about how productivity interfaces (e.g. Figma, GDocs, VSCode) are going to evolve in the world of generative AI.
The basic thesis is pretty straightforward: all of these interfaces are going to have to shift to be geared towards revisions of AI generated drafts as opposed to de novo creation.
Would love any feedback!

Hi, author of the blog post here. Happy to address any questions or comments!
tl;dr I believe we are moving to an AI-first world in productivity, but, importantly, not an AI-only world. I think the main paradigm in horizontal productivity apps is going to be Ask & Adjust: AIs will iteratively generate drafts or edits, and humans will hand-tweak them until they are right. For activities like coding where it’s very hard to express your intent exactly to an AI, the hand-editing interfaces, along with collaborative re-use, will remain crucial.

Hi HN - I'm the founder at Warp.dev and wrote up this guide (mostly for internal use) on our product process at Warp. Would love any community thoughts and feedback.
Thank you!
They have signalled to me, loud and clear, that their product is not for people like me, and I will never try it. Doesn't matter that they've removed the requirement, we've all seen what type of product this is.
there is a large segment of developers who find the command line hard to use or who just want a better, more productive experience using it. to be clear, you may not fall into that bucket, and that's OK.
the point of the login is that we have features that cost us money to provide like AI, and we need some concept of identity to prevent their abuse. i don't think that's detestable (e.g. it's very similar to cursor or copilot), but i get that's a new behavior in the terminal and am sorry it put you off.
