Playing with Zellij this week (a terminal multiplexer like screen/tmux) and it's worked great so far. It's nice having many short-lived, named terminal sessions on a remote machine. Normally I'd have multiple iTerm windows, but they end up with huge histories.

I'm increasingly treating terminal sessions as short lived: starting a fresh terminal tab keeps scrollback short and easy to search. I'd love to have a terminal emulator that allows me to skip over output of specific verbose commands when searching.

When writing long-lived programs (daemons etc) in Rust, I find myself asking *where* I should put data. In a GC'd language it's just "I have a string" but Rust forces me to find somewhere to put it. You do get a performance benefit for this work though.
