Yeah I thought I would miss it, but it turns out I started to use Lazygit at roughly the same time, and LOVING it, hence not missing git in my editor for now :)

Yeah I need to look into what I can tweak soon! In fact, I had the doc in an open tab for a couple of weeks haha

Glad to hear it was smooth for you!

What kind of tech stack are you working with these days?

The new autocomplete thing that just released you mean? So far, it seems good!

I like the UX of the AI panel; I think it's the best of all the editors I tried. It's about small details. Feels refined.

Agentic stuff will for sure be a great addition! :)

My pref: Zed > Windsurf > Cursor > VSCode

I recently realized that 2 of the projects I am most excited about are Rust-based: Zed and the new Cosmic Desktop Environment!

I've been daily driving both, and they're awesome!

Cosmic Alpha 6 should be out today, btw!

You didn't ask _me_, but two things are missing for me:

- a Rubocop integration (but that's just an extension that needs to be built, I guess; not sure if editor features are missing for it to exist).
- Agentic code edition...but it's coming!

But I'm still daily driving and loving it! :D

Being excited is always exciting :D

I always love to try new editors, usually at least once a year, to see how I can improve my stuff, or what's better elsewhere.

This time, I'm sticking with Zed :)

It's lacking AI agentic stuff, but it's coming before their 1.0 (around summer).

I have not been excited by a code editor since Atom, and it's Atom folks behind Zed! But it's Rust, not with Electron this time ;)

My second favourite would be Windsurf, btw!

After that post, I went and tried a bunch of editors...

My fav editor recently has been Zed! Fast and exiting! All their UX decisions just make sense.

I rarely get excited about new code editors...but it's the case with Zed! I'm beyond excited for its future!

Give it a shot and join the hype! :)

It's sooooo good!

I've been daily driving it for most of 2025, and fell in love. The most exciting code editor project for me in a long while (ever?). Last time I got excited about a code editor, it was Atom! And it's Atom folks behind Zed haha

It's fast, and all the defaults just make sense.

Been using Zed for a while and LOVE it. This is the most exciting IDE since Atom to me. VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf are great, and for now, Zed is lacking on the AI agentic stuff...but it's coming before 1.0, which should be this summer, according to their public roadmap.

Give it another shot :)

Been daily driving Zed for most of 2025...and I really, REALLY love it. It's an exciting project!

Looking forward to seeing how they implement AI agentic stuff. Should be before the 1.0 launch this summer (according to roadmap, that is).

Man, I fell in love with Zed!

It's missing the agentic stuff from Cursor, Windsurf and VSCode, but you know what? It still feels special.

I didn't get excited about a code editor since Atom (and it's the same folks! haha).

It really feels like something special.

And you know what, when Atom released back in the day, I was just as excited and I used it for a long while!

Feels like Zed is something special; check it out. Especially if you're not using agentic file modifications (which you likely use with Windsurf, I guess hehe)

"Exciting?", you may ask?

Yes! It feels modern, like a new take. The UX overall just makes sense, and the UI around AI assistant integration is awesome. It just feels natural how you can add files, tabs, etc...

That said, the Agentic stuff is not in there, yet.

Btw, it's Atom folks behind it.

Hey Ben! I tried Windsurf and I must admit I prefer it over Cursor and VSCode (although I didn't work with the last two for a few weeks, and I heard they got better, too).

Code editors with AI agents are booming haha!

But you know what? My fav editor recently has been Zed! Fast and exiting!

Discovery Coding Discovery coding is a practice of understanding a problem by writing code first, rather than attempting to do some design process or thinking beforehand.

This quick read is good food for thoughts; worth taking a couple of minutes of your time to read it! jimmyhmiller.github.io/discovery-co...

That's awesome! I remember that early energy when you know where you were when you got those notifications!

I was in a pharmacy parking when I got my first.

And at the emergency with my daughter when I got my first enterprise client (Greyhound).

Every signup stays exciting for a while :D

I feel the pain! Been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt! haha

I recently used github.com/nektos/act and loved it! It won't work for all use cases, of course, but it saved me a bunch of those commit, push & pray moments :)

maybe you already fixed it, but here is a tip you didn't ask for haha

Hey! I solved that for my previous SaaS with invisible_captcha, a Rails gem...but the idea is that it's a honeypot with an invisible field, that humans won't fill...so if it has a value, reject. And also checks for the time between viewing the form, and submitting it. Pretty easy to build.

Interesting. The models probably didn’t change, but maybe some config under the hood changed.

Are you using .cursorrules for project specific AI rules? And the config pane for general ones.
