The Tmux Menagerie
a day ago
- The author advocates using tmux with one session per project and task-oriented windows for efficient context switching.
- Tmux has a steep learning curve but provides muscle memory; however, managing more than three concurrent projects is challenging.
- Existing tools like macOS Spaces are inadequate for parallel work, leading to frantic alt-tab switching.
- APM (Agent Project Manager) is introduced as a gaming-inspired HUD to manage AI agents across multiple projects.
- The author asks readers how they use AI acceleration: to increase concurrency or to free up time, and invites sharing of workflows.
- A user shares their setup: 4-terminal approach, 2-3 projects, multiple Claude Code sessions, a custom LLM tool for GPT-5 reviews, and morning context building with markdown files.
