The point of measuring is reproducibility. If you want to get the same result repeatedly the easiest way is to measure. Obviously people have been making sourdough for a very long …

I otherwise like Zed way more than the vscode-derivatives but yeah, the edit predictions are just not even close. And it's laggier feeling despite the lower quality.
