Selenium trunk took 71 commits in the past week. The activity falls into four themes plus a pile of smaller fixes: a build refactor that switches IE and Safari test gating to bazel’s target_compatible_with, a Grid default flip that bundles the Redis backed SessionMap, a cross language move of internal atoms to TypeScript, and a long stream of Ruby binding cleanups around pinned browsers. If you build Selenium from source or operate Selenium Grid, this week is worth a look. Full repo: SeleniumHQ/selenium on GitHub.

Quick scan of the last week in two open source repos: OpenTofu shipped real bugfixes plus a CLI argument refactor, while the kubernetes-client/java repo spent the week migrating its Java build from Maven to Bazel under a copilot bot.

The kubernetes-client/java repo had a busy seven days, with 24 commits and 28 files touched. Almost all of it is build and CI infrastructure: a new auto sync workflow that keeps MODULE.bazel aligned when Dependabot bumps pom.xml, a cross OS Bazel repository cache, and a stack of small fixes to make the Bazel pipeline behave the same on Linux, macOS, and Windows. If you ship the Java client into production or maintain a fork, this is the kind of week that quietly removes a class of merge headaches.

If you spend a lot of time in the terminal, you’ve probably heard of tmux. It’s a terminal multiplexer — a tool that lets you create multiple terminal sessions inside a single window, detach from them, and reattach later, even across different machines or after an SSH disconnection. In short, it makes your terminal workflow persistent, flexible, and powerful.

I’ve been using tmux daily for years, and it’s one of those tools that feels indispensable once you get comfortable with it. This post is a deep dive into what tmux is, why it matters, and how to use it effectively — written as a friendly guide rather than a dry man page.
