Let’s go with the ambitious approach.
If you're curious about what it feels like to use @roc_lang or @zeddotdev, have I got a video for you! This is me live-coding a Roc CLI and web server in Zed, explaining as I go: youtu.be/7R204VUlzGc?si… Thanks to Func Prog Sweden for hosting the event and editing the video!
One of my unconventional beliefs is that games are probably one of the most complex pieces of software - almost all complexity built upfront. One single game built in a year or two can have as much business logic as a distributed system built up, layer by layer, over decades…
"They don't understand because they're a game developer" is total nonsense. Games are a superset domain. We make editors, servers, databases, build systems, large asset management, etc. If anything, if you're going to dismiss someone, dismiss people who haven't worked on games.

We build for engineers who care about their tools—including those who want them AI-free. You can now disable all AI features in Zed: "disable_ai": true Your workflow, your choice. Ships in Preview today, Stable next week. zed.dev/blog/disable-a…
It's really insane on GitHub Actions that when a single job fails, it cannot be retried without canceling the entire workflow. On RWX, tasks that fail can be retried immediately, even while other tasks are still running.
If you liked my talk "The Return of Procedural Programming" - youtube.com/watch?v=vQPHtA… - but you wanted a game programmer's perspective and/or a *ton* of detailed history on the origins of mainstream programming constructs, check out this @cmuratori talk: youtu.be/wo84LFzx5nI?si…
Continuing my slow migration of our machines to Linux, I am going to try switching the music computer. I was going to try Ubuntu Studio as the distro first, but I figured I'd ask here to see what y'all think is best. (It's basically just a machine for running Reaper + VST)

Zed gets a lot of "windows when!?1" posts. A subset of the team is now daily driving Zed on Windows and are actively working to stabilize it. Official Windows support for Zed is coming folks!
🚀 We're now official sponsors of @roc_lang a zero-cost abstraction, pure-functional language with a focus on performance and DX. Roc is pushing the boundaries of what a modern language can be. Fast, friendly, and functional. We’re here for it. 🎙️ An interview with founder…
Bullish on Zed, feels like I'm using Sublime Text again but with all the modern niceties that originally pulled me over to VS Code and Cursor.
I vote zed.dev/agentic-engine…
We need a more sophisticated term for programming with agents. (Now that the Term Starting With V & Ending With Ibecoding is burned) Le Coding Agentique? Agenten-unterstützte Programmierung? Meta-Agentic Computational Delegation Paradigm?
Are there any statically compiled languages with a typescript-like type system (that can use values in types)? I love rust's exhaustive enum's, but I don't love that they're not just structs, and so you *have* to use a match statement to extract values instead of if…
Dive into our latest episode of Zed Decoded, where we break down the journey of bringing the much-requested Debugger to life. @twanthedev, @PiotrOsiewicz, and @conradirwin take us through the challenges, technical details, and what's next for the debugger. Watch it here:…
A couple of people mentioned that they hadn't heard this @sw_unscripted episode with @ryanjfleury from last year - apparently it got lost in the transfer when I was switching podcast hosting providers, so here it is in case you missed it!

1980s: "Yeah yeah the current state of the art can't quite do that yet, but in the future, given a sufficiently smart compiler..." 2020s: "Yeah yeah the current state of the art can't quite do that yet, but in the future, given a sufficiently smart LLM..."
My LambdaConf 2025 talk was posted. It's mostly showing tools that we have around visualizing programs and their behavior. youtube.com/watch?v=IdpD5Q…
Massive thanks to our new corporate sponsor, @class_lambda! 🎉 We really appreciate the support. 💜
See also: programmers claiming 10x or even 100x productivity when their observed output is not even in the ballpark of 10x. (That said, I've also seen programmers whose observed output is dramatically higher since they started using AI agents. And not because quality tanked.)
At the beginning of the study, developers forecasted that they would get sped up by 24%. After actually doing the work, they estimated that they had been sped up by 20%. But it turned out that they were actually slowed down by 19%.
The details on this 😂
Windows when, you ask? Windows real soon... In the meantime: windowswhen.com
🚀 Zed v0.194 is out! Today's release packs a doozy with many quality-of-life improvements. When you perform a buffer or project search using regular expressions, Zed now reports the exact error in the regex pattern.
