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.

I've never seen a good design philosophy on how to sort compiler errors for the best UX. Do you order by line, or by severity? Do you put the most actionable at the end (because that's most visible when the terminal scrolls) or at the beginning?
