- Time to talk about my writerdeck
A writer details building a distraction-free Linux terminal-based "writerdeck" using Arch Linux, sway, tmux, and neovim, prioritizing focused writing over modern computing's temptations.
- Using a 1978 terminal in 2026 (DEC VT-100)
A developer buys a 1978 DEC VT-100 terminal and documents the practical challenges of using it as a daily driver in 2026, including flow control, slow baud rate, and missing Unicode support.
- How I run 4–8 parallel coding agents with tmux and Markdown specs — Manuel Schipper
Describes a system for running 4–8 parallel coding agents using tmux, Markdown feature designs, and Claude Code slash commands to manage a development loop.
- Claude Code Multi-Agent Orchestration System
Claude Code v2.1.19 contains a hidden multi-agent orchestration system called TeammateTool, confirmed via binary analysis, enabling coordinated swarms of specialized AI agents.
- Letting Claude play text adventures
The article describes letting Claude play the text adventure Anchorhead, highlighting how memory management and context limitations hinder performance.

Claude Canvas gives Claude Code a dedicated TUI display for spawning interactive terminal tools like email and calendar via a tmux-based canvas plugin.
- Claude Code On-The-Go - granda
A developer runs six parallel Claude Code agents from an iPhone using a disposable Vultr VM, Tailscale VPN, and push notifications via Poke.
Takes
Mind boggling to me that I can make a thing faster and there's always people that ask "but why?" What kind of mentality is that? The pursuit of excellence does not need justification. Also, I find in so many cases, we can't know the impact of an improvement until we do it. For example, one I've talked about before: Ghostty's high IO throughput has enabled terminal program (emulator and TUI) fuzzing at a speed thats incomparably fast to prior solutions. This has resulted in upstream patches to resolve issues in popular projects like btop, tmux, and more. Speed enabled that anecdotally example that lifted the tides of adjacent communities that don't rely on Ghostty technology at all. I didn't predict this. Make things better because they can be better and let the results naturally play out.
@mitchellh
Please, stop running your agents in tmux. I just found out about Zellij and terminal multiplexing finally makes sense.
@0xIlyy
Apparently the tmux that does NOT suck exists It has an absolutely unpronounceable name and is called Zellij I will try it now thanks everyone for recommending it 😊 https://zellij.dev/about/
@levelsio
@vishalm4341 With the way http://Superterm.dev works you don’t really need to know much other the scrollback Control + B + [ Also has its own built in tmux tutor for if you do fancy some more productivity Picks up sessions you have already created which is nice

My new favorite tmux dev layout features @opencode (with Kimi K2.5 running on @FireworksAI_HQ) on top and Claude Code on the bottom. I start almost all agent tasks with Kimi (so fast!), then ask Claude if I need a second opinion/more advanced stuff. Great combo! pic.twitter.com/cUxfPgHFlW

Omarchy 3.4 is out! Massive release with 61 contributors, three new themes, tailored Tmux, new screenshot flow, new agent features (claude by default + tmux swarm!), keyboard RGB theme syncing, and a million other things. https://t.co/TNTp4kl137 pic.twitter.com/svamyqHV1p

I've really come to love Tmux's programmability. Next Omarchy will have a "nic" function that starts current directory with this 3-way split: Neovim, Opencode, Terminal. Everything a programmer needs! pic.twitter.com/KbvPHESq7T
@dhh
Next version of Omarchy will have a delightfully configured Tmux setup out of the box. Many terminals, including Ghostty, have panes and tabs built-in, but let me show you why I've still come to prefer Tmux. pic.twitter.com/AhKJT7vwtC

my life is complete. I can pop into my claude code tmux sessions from web/mobile safari on my sprites pic.twitter.com/jZW72GSj3e

Stop using bulky GUIs. If you build software, live in the terminal.neovim + AI auto-assist + grok-code-fast. Lock in. 🔒The Setup:Shell: zsh + oh-my-zsh + starship Multiplexer: tmuxMonitor: btop + proc + duf + dustNav: yazi + zoxide + fzf + eza mag Search: ripgrep + fd… pic.twitter.com/0OKUWGhRjD
