Stop Making TUIs
Read OriginalThis article discusses Thomas Ptacek's advocacy for creating native user interfaces (GUIs) even for small personal tools, as coding agents have made it nearly free to build usable GUIs. The author shares personal experience with vibe-coded macOS task bar apps for bandwidth and GPU monitoring, and admits to still using them daily. Ptacek encourages developers to convert throwaway CLIs into native apps, suggesting it can change their perspective. The post highlights a trend in software development where AI-assisted coding reduces barriers to UI creation.
