The issue isn't the terminal. The issue seems to be that Claude is using React to render to that terminal at 60FPS like a goddamn video game

Vibe coding is soooo awesome!

And people thought that Electron was a resource pig. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Yeah that was my first thought. Use a TUI that abuses the terminal to make a experience poorly recreating an actual GUI, don't be shocked if it doesn't turn out very efficient

Yeah, welcome to 1980, where a library coming from a roguelike shaped almost all the TUI's for Unix until ~2010 or so, Curses.

A 386 could run NetHack at blazing fast speeds and read the news in a TTY perfectly well.

A multicore machine can't get the basic thanks to the 'wonderful' JS. Heck, even s9 Scheme from http://t3x.org ships a Curses module, enough to drive some text and maybe boxes/menues and it should fit in two floppies. A single one if the image it's generated later on-disk.

Vibe coding is unleashing man-made horrors beyond human comprehension on the world.

Have they not discovered event based rendering yet? Something changed, render! Nothing has changed, don’t render anything and keep the previous frame.

Dude, back off the buzzkill on my vibe code, man. I told Claude what I wanted, and it works fine on my machine.

What kind of Karen are you that you expect me to check if it works for other people? I mean you have Claude, too, so fix it yourself. I've got more code to vibe and vibe to code. Later for you.

Note: this is dark sarcasm just in case somebody thinks I'm serious. The problem is that I'm not really laughing because I have heard very similar to this and had to be the one harshing both their vibes very much.

		I’m sorry that you have to deal with that. I think if I ever get into a similar conversation I will just answer “but I don’t have Claude…”

Consider how bloated data centers are when local models are now equally capable of human-scoped problem solving.

Software bloat fills a void created by itself.
