I wish that build tools considered *current* CPU and memory utilisation.
$ make -j $NUM_CPUS
This is problematic if some jobs use a lot of memory (common in linking) or if you're using your machine for anything else.

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 find it odd that people recommend Docker for sandboxing agentic coding tools. Isn't it easier to just create a separate user account on the machine?
It's an established security boundary, and viewing output is easy (just make the user's home directory world readable).
GNU Make defaults to a single worker, and newer build tools (e.g. ninja) default to the number of physical CPUs. I wish there was an option for 'leave me a little bit of my machine to do stuff'.
