I tried using Zed with TypeScript and after 5 mins I uninstalled the app.

Re: Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
#392This interests me but they don't address practical Claude Code Opus 4.1 use at scale.
I have a $200/month Anthropic Max subscription that I use for help in exploring and coding my math research. As of now no AI model can compete with Opus 4.1 for helping me with my most challenging tasks. I try every one I can. Gemini 2.5 Pro is great for code review and a second opinion, but drives off the road when it takes the wheel.
I tried a $100/monthly plan and spent $20 in an hour the first time I went over; an API key is not a practical way to use Opus 4.1.
There are plenty of concerns using Clause Code in a terminal, that Zed could address. Mainly, I can't "see over AI's shoulder" so I need to also test. The most careful extension I coded was terminal sessions we could share as equal participants. Nevertheless, as a rule I'd attribute my relative success to just living with shortcomings, as if a "partner that snores". AI loses track of the current directory all the time, or forgets my variable naming and comment conventions? Just keep going, fix it later.
How can I get equivalent value to my Max plan, using Claude Code Opus 4.1 with Zed?

I use zed and claude code side by side right now.
I haven't tried out the newly released assisted agent mode with Zed.
Yes Opus has been good with instruction following and same with Gemini for 2nd opinions and brainstorming.
They're not perfect but definitely I see plenty of value in both tools as far as they are reliable services.
I don't like the cloud based functioning of the models as the experience is extremely flaky and not reliable. I've gound OpenAI Codex and the models in codex too be more reliable in responses and consistency of the quality service.
I would still prefer to have a fully locally hosted equivalent of what ever the state of the art coding assisstant models to speed up work.
That will take time though as in with every technological evolution. We will be stuck with time sharing for sometime haha. Until the resource aspect of this technology scales and economizes to become ubiquitous.

#394Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you think "build by atom team" and "not electron" are any kind of serious advantage for any peace of software than your are the one who lacks knowledge about software development.
Made me think about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43041923 where they mention Atom as well
It would be relevant that they were the team behind Atom if they seemed to understand the lessons of Atom...
Instead of learning from what worked and fixing what didn't, they just threw everything away and wandered off in some totally different direction. They did the reactionary kind of learning instead of the theory-building kind: https://xkcd.com/242/

>h Opus 4.1 for helping me with my most challenging tasks
I switched to gemini 2.5 pro, after some prompt tweaking nothing really beats in actual coding tasks imho.

Maybe there's a way to use your Max plan? I heard OpenAI works the same way, there's a way to use the codex cli with your chatgpt subscription (I think it gives it a jwt token or something). There are 3rd party tools that can then use the same token to make API requests via the subscription, instead of via API billing. (Which is sort of allowed, since the cli is open source?)
I'm guessing claude code works roughly the same way?
Re: Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
#398If they could add support for remote development (meaning the claude code instance runs on the remote server in the same folder that you have already opened as a remote/ssh project in Zed) and add a way to paste images in Zed and have them interpreted by CC on the server, this would really be a killer feature.
As someone who’s running a development agency I need to have tens of dev environments for different client projects running at the same time, and being able to switch between them multiple times every day (often from multiple client computers), so a remote server is the only way to go–I don’t want all of that stuff running on my Macs.
Nowadays I also have tens of CCs running on the dev server, switching between them using tmux, which works great, but the lack of support for pasting images through the terminal/ssh/tmux has been a real bummer. It would be great if Zed found a way to bridge that gap.

There are tons of complains about zed performance there.
Do you think messages like this are talking about VSCode performance?

I had to use VSCode for some projects in the past because it was what was available on the clients workstations... I can't imagine having to use that laggy electron abomination all the time. For me Zed is sent from heaven, because my previously preferred editor (geany) hast basically zero developtment nowadays.
How big was his project bc I've never had any input away and I've worked on some pretty good size projects. Are you using an old computer or something?
I mainly used VSCode on locked down corporate laptops. Usually good hardware but running windows and corporate security bloat.
But where I was allowed to install alternative editors they were snappy.
