Ironically I’m studying all the oldest of oldest UNIX utilities that can work well over a pure teletype style terminal, think a LA34 DECwriter IV. No ncurses, no TUI. only line feeds and also ink is scarce.
Why? Because we have a new friend in the house who effectively has to interact with the outside world via teletype terminal.
The LLMs!
