Geeking out on terminals is like geeking out on shoelaces.

I'm glad you guys are out there - someone has to do it.

You’ll be delighted to learn Professor Shoelace exists: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/

Those skeuomorphic eyelets are top notch.

Good for you Ian, happy guy.

Most of these look like dogshit.

Feel like I would be tripping over my own feet lookin like a shipwreck.

This one is bullshit, he's padding content: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/startknot.htm That's not a knot. Not a knot.

That's the beginning of tying your shoes.

Come on Professor!

		I do love the Ian Knot, and I taught myself to do it for a while. Alas I stopped wearing lace-up shoes for some years and when I went back to them the muscle-memory for the standard knot was strong, so I just stuck with it.

I only use the finest of gold.

They also count my steps.

(also I had to look up aglet)

		There's an 80s era tip of my tongue movie with glob of dialogue abut the inventor of the aglet living the American dream becoming insanely rich from Nth of a cent per shoelace royalties.

I once took around two weeks worth of evenings to get my zsh startup from 300ms down to 50ms because it felt laggy.
