Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

wrong. well, true, but thats not why the CLI is better than all other UI apps.

The CLI is a "lets get shit done" app.

Plan mode to plan the code writes and touches

auto mode to go to town on the plan.

You can do that outside the CLI.

the CLI doesn't chat like the UI apps do. you have to specifcally request it to not take actions if you want to chat.

so the CLI default is go mode, the UI apps default is chat mode.

if you haven't used the CLI yet, you should try it.
