commence feature creep
The collab editing stuff was Zed's original gimmick. The AI stuff is the real feature creep.

#52Here is where I've settled on for Zed. I initially thought it might be a Sublime replacement for one-off files, but it seems it's geared towards projects. It's not as powerful as Jetbrains (RustRover, PyCharm etc), but is much faster. So here's how I'm using Zed:
- On my Tablet, which is too slow for Jetbrains IDEs to run smoothly
- On certain projects I have which choke Jetbrains IDEs. (Due to macro use maybe?)
I'm also trying their GPUI library, but am in the early stages, so can't really comment on how it compares to EGUI.

#53I could imagine that in ten years git will feel strangely slow and ceremonial. Why not just continuously work and continuously deploy live-edited software
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
I love it when I have a tool that’s “done” but the software I work on in my career is never, ever done. It’s almost like there’s two different things we call “software”. there are tools like, idk, “curl” where you can use and old version and be happy. and there are interactive organizations in the world, like, eg, Hacker News, which mutates as the community’s needs change

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
I think that’s a tooling problem. Maybe we do end up running a lot more versions of things in the future. If we believe that code has gotten cheaper, it should be easier to do so.

Zed is the only modern IDE-like editor which is fast enough to replace (n)vim for me. I plan to use it for more and more projects, but I've had minor issues with it's Vi-mode.
I'll always remain someone plugged into vim because I need it sometimes when shelled over a terminal. Editing files over SSH can work with editor support, but is often less reliable or fast than jumping through whatever hoops I need to to get an SSH connection once and then doing everything from there.

Why would you use a tablet for this type of work? Honest question.
Re: Zed is our office
#57Zed is lovely and I hope it becomes super successful but this kind of mass collaboration might be ok for meeting minutes... maybe. But thinking of it for coding it gives me shingles. Code by mass live committee. Yikes.
Pair programming can be really great. Or horrible. Depends entirely on the people.
This would be good for code-walks too though. Instead of having to share your screen and hope the video comes through well. Everyone can follow along in the comfort of their own editor.

Incidentally, I use Vim for editing files via SSH as you do, or if I'm in WSL, but haven't figured out how to use it for projects!
Re: Zed is our office
#59I love Zed. I, mostly, love the direction they are taking the editor in. But. There are now two times I see Zed going in the wrong direction. The AI integration was one. This feels like the wrong direction again. I never really liked the AI integration. It felt off to me. I do love coding with Claude and I think I know why. It presents the "information I need to know" in a way my puny brain can handle it. Colored dif…

I wonder how many nines of uptime your team is required to have..
