​Where the Terminal Meets the Crown

​Command Line Heroes is a meetup series for developers, SREs, and terminal enthusiasts who genuinely enjoy living in the command line.

​We are excited to bring the Command Line Heroes community back to Bengaluru. This is our third edition, and the previous sessions have been packed with great conversations, clever setups, and real learning. If you care about shells, tooling, productivity, and how others actually work day to day, this meetup is built for you.

​Episode 3 continues the tradition with real world stories, hands on challenges, and a proper geek out session. This is where you show off your terminal setup, learn from others, and leave with ideas you can use the very next day.

​Speaker Lineup

​Akshay Deshpande - (X/Linkedin) | Neovim deep dive

​Akshay is a backend and observability engineer who lives in the terminal and prefers a Neovim-first workflow for fast, reliable development. He currently works as an architect in observability and delivery engineering, and shares his learnings on engineering, tooling, and productivity as @ProgrammerMonk on X

​Most Neovim setups look great in a screenshot and fall apart under real-world load: large codebases, flaky LSPs, and terminals full of competing tools. In this session, Akshay will walk through his Neovim setup from the ground up, how he thinks about configuration structure, plugin choices, and performance so that the editor stays fast and predictable even on busy days.

​Jitesh Kumar Sahoo - (X/LinkedIn) | FZF Utilities

​Go enthusiast and backend engineer with a strong command-line and Vim-first workflow. Former data analyst who moved into backend systems, with a focus on speed, simplicity, and composable tools. Writes about Go, Vim, and lessons learned along the way.

​In this talk, he will share a high-level view of fzf, why it has become a staple in terminal-driven workflows, and how it improves everyday navigation across code, files, and commands.

​Saurabh Hirani - (X/LinkedIn) | .zshrc tmuxinator tease

​Saurabh is a Principal SRE at One2N who has spent nearly two decades building, automating, and scaling infrastructure for high-traffic systems across data centers and cloud platforms. He enjoys debugging gnarly production issues, crafting reliable tooling around observability and automation, and sharing hard-earned lessons with the SRE and DevOps community.

​In this talk we will see how amazon Q's kiro-cli startup script prevents tmuxinator from starting tmux sessions the right way. During the course of finding the issue, we will also learn about lazy loading in zshrc, We will also improve zshrc performance and compare oh-my-zsh loadup time with zimfw. This talk will give you a way to debug high startup times of zsh and a way to improve latency by fixing the relevant code blocks

​What to Expect?

​Hear from the best
Engineers who rely heavily on the line will share how they actually work. Expect practical workflows, strong opinions, and tools that have stood the test of time.

​Show and Tell
Bring your configurations, dotfiles, aliases, custom scripts, or that one obscure tool you cannot live without. This is an open floor to share, learn, and compare notes with fellow terminal users.

​There are more people like you
Meet developers and SREs who care deeply about efficiency, tooling, and craft. This is a great place to network with people who think the terminal is not just a tool, but a workspace.
