I made a website to be the caniuse for terminals, and it also includes some history/fundamentals stuff. I thought it was useful background if you want to dive into the capabilities of modern terminal and trying to make sense of the alphabet soup that is SGR, OSC, ANSI, etc:

  Just to play devil's advocate: why? There's nothing a priori that suggests AI-written content is less pedagogically sound than human written content?

    We don’t need aggregators like HN pitching AI-authored content, no matter how pedagogically sound. We can direct our own AIs to generate our own AI-authored content.

    Because the style is irritating, and as usual: if the author can't be bothered to write it, I can't be bothered to read it.
