“What is the terminal?”

Jon Udell, Jul 03, 2026 Jon Udell introduces Bram, an integrated development environment (IDE) for writing software with the assistance of Claude Code or Codex.

I have a similar experience using VS Code, another IDE, with the Claude Code plugin (don't use Claude via Copilot, that gets very expensive). The point here is that the IDE isn't replacing my learning; instead, it's doing things I was never going to learn. Web: [Direct Link] [This Post]
