Dev keeps an AI character living in his terminal, auto-continuing its story every 30 minutes
MikkoH · x · 2026-11-10
Developer MikkoH shares a playful terminal setup: a fictional character living in the top-right pane of his Zellij session, powered by the PI agent. Every 30 minutes the next scene picks up where the last left off, weaving in world events and whatever he's currently working on.
It starts with /avatar SOME PROMPT in PI and then evolves on its own. Screenshots show the story panel coexisting with real work — PR review agents, MCP auth investigation, and a live TODO list in the same terminal.
