What exactly do you need 1ms instead of 14ms startup time in a shell startup? The difference is barely perceptible. Most of the time starting up is time spent

  > What exactly do you need 1ms instead of 14ms startup time in a shell startup? I think as they said: when dynamically building a shell input prompt it starts to become very noticable if you have like 3 or more of these and you use the terminal a lot.

    Ah, I only noticed the "shell startup" bit. Yes, after 2-3 I agree you'd start to notice if you were really fast. I suppose at that point I'd just have Gemini rewrite the prompt-building commands in Rust (it's quite good at that) or merge all the prompt-building commands into a single one (to amortize the startup cost).

      https://starship.rs/ https://starship.rs/ perhaps? I should probably start using it again honestly.

        it feels good to have all that information at your fingertips but most of the time the default config is way too noisy.
