I use claude code in a terminal rather than through an IDE because its closer to the metal

Same here. I regularly try GUIs but I find myself going back to the raw terminal experience.

I drive 20 miles to a data center before I use Claude in the browser so I can be closest to the metal

100%. Terminal gives you full control of the system context. IDE abstracts away what's actually happening. When the code runs in shells and containers, you want to be close to that reality.

Terminal gives you the real feedback loop — git diff, test output, error traces all in the same context as the agent. IDE wrappers add abstraction that hides what the model is actually doing with your code.

Turn on caps lock with Claude and he will let you talk directly to the transistors

The IDE is a great place to hide from the code. The terminal makes that impossible.

nothing says bare metal quite like a 15-second api call to a trillion parameter model
