I've shared the full transcript of every agentic coding session from implementing the unobtrusive Ghostty updates and provided commentary alongside about my thinking and process.

I'm regularly asked to share non-trivial examples of how I use AI and agentic coding tools and this felt like a golden opportunity to walk through my process with a well-scoped, non-trivial, real-world, shipping feature.

Total cost: $15.98 over 16 sessions.

Vibing a Non-Trivial Ghostty Feature

Mitchell Hashimoto

@mitchellh hey Mitchell, thanks for this post, it's a really interesting window into this stuff.

I know this might be an annoyingly common request but have you spoken to the ethics of all this on record anywhere? I want to love Ghostty, but I'm more and more uncomfortable with LLMs and the ethics surrounding them.

@mdiluz expect him to be fine with them. thats why he is using them, posting about them, and sharing about his process of using them.

He just doesnt want to upset people who don’t like them
