new feature in opencode: warping

never worry about whether or not you should work in a worktree again!

now you can move sessions between worktrees and your local projects by warping them. it also brings any local changes with it!

@garrytan have you tried Hermes with your GStack yet?

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

Awesome to see! Let's replace the Alacritty core with libghostty-rs. If there are any shortcomings in the libghostty API I'll address them immediately.

I know some view Ghostty as competitive to Warp at a GUI level, but the goal was always to empower other terminal apps via libghostty and there was no other vehicle to get that out than to build a GUI too (similar to Alacritty and their vte crate).

I don't think I've ever talked negatively about Warp online (except maybe the login thing they fixed ages ago), I've always respected that they're trying something different.

I know Warp has moved on to being a much bigger vision than "just" a terminal, but let's modernize that terminal core. :)

@pmarca Sounds expensive

[Christian Battaglia @cdbattags]

These are the same nightmares I have

And I'm working on something to fix it!

[Joe Speiser ⚡️ @jspeiser]

The most expensive lesson i ever learned cost me $100m in a single day.

Built a media company to $65M in revenue in <3 years. 100 people. Then Facebook changed 1 algorithm and our traffic dropped 75% overnight. Crushed the company and me.

That was 2018. i think about it every week.

What scares me right now: i see the exact same pattern with AI.

Founders building entire businesses on top of one API. One model provider. One distribution channel they don't control.

OpenAI changes their pricing, your margins evaporate. Anthropic deprecates a model, your product breaks. Google decides to build your feature natively, game over.

The tech changes. The playbook doesn't.

Build on rented land and eventually the landlord renovates without asking you.

Own your audience. Own your data. Own your distribution. Everything else is borrowed time.
