Great article. It's amazing how much ancient tech still pulsates in our sleek new machines.

Just like our rat brains still in our heads.

We aren't descended from rats, though. Lizard brains, maybe?

Thanks! Were there any topics in the blog that you think would benefit from more detail in a follow-up post?

Things you might want to add:

a) Escape sequence to set the "dynamic" terminal title

b) how e.g. GNOME notifies you that a long running command has completed

c) how e.g. GNOME asks if you are certain to close a terminal, but only in case you're not in a shell

d) maybe readline or /etc/inputrc

e) bash completions maybe? it's sort of in there already
