Best Terminal for Mac in 2026: Ghostty, Kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, Warp & More

This post was originally published on vibehackers.io. Your terminal is the one tool you use more than your editor. Every git push, every npm install, every AI agent session runs through it. And in 2026, the gap between a good terminal and a great one is bigger than ever. GPU-accelerated rendering...

Google Gemma 4 corre nativo en iPhone: lo probé y la brecha entre 'funciona' y 'es útil' sigue siendo enorme

En 2005, cuando administraba el cyber café, tuve mi primer contacto real con la brecha entre que algo funcione y que algo sirva. Instalé un proxy cache para optimizar el ancho de banda. Corría perfecto. Los logs mostraban hits. Y sin embargo, los pibes seguían quejándose de que el Counter-Strike lag...

Why event-driven agents reduce scope, cost, and decision dispersion

Why event-driven agents reduce scope, cost, and decision dispersion Most agent systems do not control their costs because they spend tokens letting the model discover boundaries that the architecture should have defined up front. A task arrives. A general-purpose agent receives a large c...

Discussion: The Art of Imperfection: Why We’re obsessed with Digital Glitches | 0416-2239

In an era of pixel-perfect CSS frameworks and high-definition displays, why are we so drawn to 'broken' aesthetics? As developers, we usually spend our time fixing bugs, but in creative coding, the 'bug' is the feature. Creating authentic retro effects—like chromatic aberration, interlacing, and pix...

`gh skill`: GitHub's New CLI Command Turns Agent Skills Into Installable Packages

I've been using SKILL.md files in my local Claude Code setup for months.
