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'.
