Can I just express how my development workflow/open windows has shifted dramatically over the past month? A lot of it (but not ALL of it) has to do with Claude Code. Previously, I would have a terminal window (I've been using Warp for a long time www.warp.dev/)...

...in the lower-right corner of one of my monitors. The right half of the monitor would be a browser window. The left half was VS Code. I would ⌘+TAB to get to the terminal (which was rare). In the top right corner, I would have GitKraken (www.gitkraken.com) which I still like to have handy for...

...visualizing my commits and managing merge conflicts. Since starting to dig into Claude Code, the size of my terminal window has gotten larger and larger. I now fullscreen it. This might seem weird, why fullscreen a text editor? Because Warp includes a built-in IDE and file browser.

90% of the time, I no longer even need VS Code. I can see all my files in the file browser and edit them directly. Warp renders markdown natively. When what I'm doing is reviewing Claude Code and making simple text changes, almost everything I do now is just inside Warp. (So, good job @warp.dev!)

The only time I use VS Code now is if I need to search across the codebase. In practically all other contexts, I'm just using Warp for everything. The only thing I miss is multi-cursor/multi-select support. (I hope it's coming 😉 @warp.dev.) It's weird not operating out of so many different apps.

I think this is the better way to work, though. (Almost) everything I need is in one place. And since I can have multiple tabs open in Warp, I can be simultaneously monitoring different projects. And honestly, I'm probably not even using all of Warp's tools like I could be. I guess all this to say
