m12i5058yIt's great. Genuine question: why keep simultaneously open all those terminals (except for aesthetics)?

Gostwow3388y@bert0z I personally use 3 or 4, one for git/composer/cp/mv etc commands, one for builds and watchers (gulp, webpack, npm scripts...), one for SSH into dev VM/container

tahnik387588y@bert0z it helps quite a lot, especially during javascript developments. For example I am using one of them to run a webpack server (which blocks the terminal), another to run electron app.js which runs my electron app, another terminal I use for npm related stuff, another to connect to my amazon aws linux server. The right one is just to keep track of processes, sometimes I look at them to figure out if any process is eating too much CPU or memory. The left one is normally empty, but over time I normally run something in it.
Can all this be done in 1 or 2 terminal? definitely, but having more terminal with my ultrawide monitor helps a lot. -
tahnik387588y@bjorngi haha, true. But I have a reason though. I spawn some child processes from my electron app that I need to monitor.
