Comment on Life is too short for a slow terminal

The gem in this post is Pure, which I haven't heard of until now. I also have my prompt show the git status, and for large repos `git status` can take 10+ seconds to load and cache.

I had no idea that you could do that asynchronously, and then have ZSH update the already printed prompt with the status later! That blows my mind!

If you like that, you should check out my project https://beachcomber.sh . Its about time I take it from dogfooding to beta users if you want to give it a go.
