Unity developers spent most of 2025 wiring state machines and NavMesh agents together to fake intelligence in non-player characters.

Zellij vs tmux vs Screen: 35K vs 49K GitHub Stars [2026]
Open ten terminal tabs, lose your SSH connection, and watch every long-running build die with it. That single failure mode is why terminal multiplexers exist, and in September 2026 the choice among them is no longer a two-horse race between tmux and GNU Screen. Zellij, the Rust-built “terminal workspace”, just shipped version 0.45.1 with nested…
