Tangent: I wish we could standardize real-time code sharing the same way we have with LSPs. It is sad that if you want to pair-program, both have to be using the same editor. It really makes more sense to have one standard format so that one person can use VSCode and another can use Vim or Zed. If you want to make it standard practice you have to enforce everyone to use the same editor, which sucks. Already at work s…

With Neovims headless capabilities, I am hoping for the day every major IDE and editor has first party support as a front-end for Neovim, and then any Neovim plugin just becomes universal across all IDEs and editors. Which... you can make Neovim plugins in almost any language, I've seen bindings for "lesser popular" languages. I'm not even a vim guy, but if JetBrains finally adds front-end support for Neovim, I might…

I'm right there with you - my yet-unrealized dream is sublime's front-end with neovim powering it.

Real time document editing and sync is actually a tall order. To make it editor/tool agnostic you'd need some kind of overlay fs + first/third party support in the various editors (as most editors don't hot reload file changes; they expect the files they have open not to be changing underfoot).

Zed developers, if you read this, please get inspired by Cursors "Fix it" button that you can click on any error. It simply starts a new chat with the code context and error message, suggesting possible fixes. I'm currently learning Rust and this is such a powerup that I honestly wouldn't know how to learn anything without.

How many people find real time sharing helpful? I've never found it to be beneficial. I'm curious.

As a senior engineer, it really helps when helping junior engineers. When I'm on a call and we're sharing screens it gets really annoying having to tell them "no, go up. Go up, all the way up, the button at the top. THE TOP"

Apache Wave (née Google Wave) is a thing.
