.zshrc tmuxinator tease | Command Line Heroes EP3 - Bengaluru
Command Line Heroes is a meetup series for developers, SREs, and terminal nerds who love living inside the shell.
In episode 3 from Bengaluru, Saurabh Hirani (Principal SRE at One2N) walks through a real-world debugging story where Kiro CLI quietly breaks his beloved Tmuxinator setup.
This talk is a deep dive into how a “simple” autocomplete feature ended up sitting between Ghostty/VS Code, tmux, and zsh, and why things started to go weird: tmux panes showed commands but refused to execute them, shell startup got slower, and mysterious processes began to appear.
Along the way, Saurabh uses LLMs, exec, and process inspection to peel back the layers and explain what’s really happening inside your terminal sessions.
