Finally ironed out one of the most irritating issues I was facing when using TUIs (specifically AI-related ones) in tmux.
The fix was so simple, but now that I've found it, everything feels so GOOD!

So, new year new me and all—should I finally try setting up multistreaming?
I’m only on Twitch right now, but…would people watch on YT?
I’m a little apprehensive about splitting my chat streams since it’s so hard to interact with chatters on the other platform.

Oh look, it's me, almost a month late with my 2025 review post. I'm nothing if not consistent with these!
TL;DR - 2025 did not go how I planned at all, but somehow it went much, much better.

Any Laravel devs I know using the Mago toolchain?
It looks awesome and I'm considering diving deeper into it, but I feel like I haven't heard much about it yet?

It's not much yet (I have 0 decorations and only an hour or so on lighting), but I'm liking this so far!
If anyone has advice on what to add/change, let me know! I'm open to any and all feedback at this point, including what to have in the background 😅
