It’s the next evolution of planned obsolescence - it just doesn’t work as soon as you start to use it.

Be careful not to cross that line of request vs desperation.

Likewise.

Is liftoff homegrown?

I use xonsh, which has decent history - start your command, and up arrow cycles through commands stating with what you typed.

There’s good stuff and bad stuff about xonsh.
