Reviewer scorecard
“Define infrastructure in code, Encore provisions it. Type-safe API definitions generate clients automatically.”
“The AI command generation is useful for complex one-liners I'd normally Google. The modern UI is controversial but the speed is undeniable — fastest terminal I've used.”
“The automatic infrastructure provisioning from code annotations is genuinely innovative. Removes the IaC layer entirely.”
“A fancy terminal is still a terminal. The AI features save a few Google searches but $18/mo for a terminal feels steep when iTerm2 is free.”
“Infrastructure from code is the logical next step after infrastructure as code. Encore is building that future.”
“The terminal hasn't changed in 40 years. Warp is betting that AI makes the command line accessible to a new generation. Bold and necessary.”
