You guys need to figure out how to create Slack shared channels in Zed and we're all switching until they won't be needed anymore.

Can you share more on this.

While I do not work at Zed, I'm curious to hear more about this use case for my own company needs.

I could imagine that in ten years git will feel strangely slow and ceremonial. Why not just continuously work and continuously deploy live-edited software

it doesn't work quite well for complex projects that require integration with other teams/software.

You would need to either have separate versions running at the same time or never do breaking changes or devise some other approach that makes it possible.

It's not always feasible to do it this way

Counter argument to living software is that it treats "never done" products as a virtue instead of a failure of design.

Here's a thread where the person replying to me makes this case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45455963

These are definitely some interesting features, though not sure I'm in any position to take advantage of them at all.

The multi-user editing is kind of cool... there's an ANSI art tool (PabloDraw) that you can run a host session so multiple artists can create text art, and I thought back when I first saw it, that it might be cool to be able for multiple editors to work on a project. I've used some of the collab stuff with VS Code, but haven't done enough to even begin to compare.

Not to mention that in a lot of workplaces, self-hosting or otherwise layers of bureaucracy stand in the way.

If you've been a developer long enough, you might recall the teletype package for Atom—both built by Zed's founders. I first experienced this in SubEthaEdit in 2013 or so, but it has been around since the early 2000s : Appropriately working together on a truly collaborative tool, Martin Ott, Martin Pittenauer, Dominik Wagner, and Ulrich Bauer of Technische Universitat Munchen won the Best Mac OS X Student Project for…

I'd forgotten all about it but SubEthaEdit was such an amazing tech when we were using to collaborate internationally back in about '04. It went off my radar but I am glad to see its still available as a free app.

/offtopic Is it just my vision, or are websites getting super low contrast these days, esp the text-heavy ones?

I'd say it's medium gray on white, which is not too bad in my subjective opinion. I have seen far worse. Light gray on white was "trendy" for a while and dark gray or dark green on black has always been popular among the edgy crowd.

I feel like that's been a trend for the past decade at this point. I don't think this one is particularly egregious but it ain't great either.

Could be your monitor as well.
