A retrospective meeting is an important part of the Agile Software Development. It does not matter whether your team uses Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall etc., or has no formalized management framework at all. It also doesn’t matter whether you have a formalized development sprint or not. What really important is to analyze your team’s progress, successes and mistakes, and then develop the team based on that information. The place and time for that is a retrospective meeting. Let’s find out how to prepare an awesome retrospective meeting.

In the part 2 we have described the powerfulness of terminal multiplexers and reviewed one of the most popular terminal utilities – Tmux. Such kind of multiplexers might greatly boost your performance in handling different CLI operations. Let’s go forward and imagine the trivial situation, when you have created your own handy CLI environment with many terminal windows in one tab or so. You have everything under your hand but sooner or later you have to reboot your computer because of a new system update or installing some applications that require the system restart. In this case, your terminal multiplexer process will be shut down and you will lose all your settings. Fortunately, there are few lovely utilities that help save all your windows/tabs configurations and allow to recreate the entire tabs with windows.

In the previous article we wrote about few improvements that you can implement for your Command Line Interface (CLI). But “Perfection knows no limits” and in this article we would like to dig deeper and describe few additional solutions that will make your CLI more powerful in your hands.
Many developers/system administrators sooner or later face with the situation when one terminal window or even few terminal tabs is not the most convenient solution. You want to have everything close at hand: to see all terminal windows at the same time. Sure, you can tile all terminal windows or improvise in some other way but for making the things easier let’s give a shot for a terminal multiplexer.

Most of modern softwares have a handy graphical user interface that allows executing different operations by few actions. We are talking not only about user interfaces for social networks, messengers, email clients etc. You can even create an entire website or a standalone application by few clicks and labels using different automated software with a good UI toolkit. That’s really great because it involves more and more people into attempts to create something new and special. However, what about people who stand behind this scene – developers, who create “software for creating a software”?
