I'm experimenting with Atuin for searching my terminal history: https://atuin.sh/
Previously I'd just used fzf to find items, which does work nicely. Occasionally I *really* want to search "commands which were run in this directory" though, which Atuin offers.
Today I learnt that Racket *intentionally* doesn't have a traditional REPL workflow. The authors were concerned about students not understanding the state between the current session and the code on disk.
(Arguably Jupyter has some of these features now.)

The word "agent" is so overloaded in the AI space.
Sometimes it means a sophisticated interaction system, but other times it just means API.
I think it's partly a sign of how new the space is. We don't have consensus on the best way to use these systems yet.
