Is anyone who’s not a control freak employer/manager actually excited about storing every single agent conversation alongside code in an easy to reference manner? It’s like attaching all office chat recordings and screencasts of your working hours to code for eternity. Just suffocating, and easily abused by nosy people.

Plus a substantial percentage of people in the industry probably never used git blame ffs.

"talking about code is how software gets written."

This is a good sound bite for our times but I'm not convinced it's not carrying a big secret.

So the Zed team essentially sidelined numerous requests for a UI extension API to make something that will only ever be used in demos.

Good thing I can just fork the editor. This is how you lose the trust and goodwill of your users.

I hate to be that guy who complains about style over substance, but man, is that font they use for body text ugly. Not just the glyphs themselves, but the spacing is way off, too.

I see Zed abandoned their principles regarding AI. Shame, I really do like the editor. Any decent alternatives that aren't VSCode or a Jetbrains product?

The name is terrible. Maybe this is vanity, but theres too many conflicting names. Delta airlines, delta dental, delta faucets, etc

I'm sorry, but this so-called "minimal code editor" jumped the shark a long time ago.

It looks interesting. Maybe this is an ignorant question though but doesn't claude basically force you to use all their software to use agents though? So if you were to use claude with delta you would pay insane fees because it would force API pricing? Or is this system more for local agents?

I don’t understand the point of this. Now we need 2 or more humans to micromanage LLM(s)?

What happened to using "adversarial LLM"? Too expensive for plebs? So this is the middle ground?

I think zed has lost the plot.

When will this ai slop era end? Hopefully soon because I am tired of reviewing junk PRs
