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

@mitchellh loved (and very much related to) the coda about making breakfast for the family whilst vibing. In my attempts to work in this style (less on code, more on RFCs and such), I find the freedom to context switch to be a double-edged sword — more time to do other tasks, but I also rarely find myself in anything like a flow state.
