This is like the “why not use FTP yourself” response to the YC Dropbox page.

Yes, but good, standardized developer tooling is valuable.

Postman could’ve also been a “just use CURL and dump to JSON” for example.

I actually am bullish on this. Tmux and ssh are somewhat clunky and probably under utilized by most people. I struggle to find commands, navigate sessions, see history, and so on.

Also in an “agent” based world where you might ask an agent to execute things for you, how do you manage that context well beyond just giving it its own Tmux session to drive?

It’s a good idea, and I’m surprised no one’s built it sooner.

Devs don't use Dropbox, they use git. Git is probably the poster-child example of an unfriendly interface, and yet it's the standard way for devs to share files.

Emacs is downright friendly compared to git & tmux IMO.
