(unrelated) what's the font used for the cursive in the article? the heading is ibm plex serif and the content dm mono, but the cursive font is simply labeled as dm mono which isn't accurate
Chrome Dev console shows that the italics font is indeed named "dm" just like the rest of the content. It is not really a cursive, only a few letters are stylized ("f", "s" and "l").
It is possible (and often desirable) to use different WOFF fonts for italics, and they can look quite different from the standard font.
junior engineers aren't hired to get tons of work done; they're hired to learn, grow, and eventually become senior engineers. ai can't replace that, but only help it happen faster (in theory anyway).
this is where the advances in collaboration come in; it's a way out for them because existing editors are largely stuck with git and are patching ai on top of everything.
zed came at the incredibly (un?)fortunate timing where they were just able to build a solid base before the editor wars began. their only path now is to fully maximize the few advantages they do have:
* a fresh base that is far more flexible
* really good experience with performance, design, general craftmanship
* a buzzy community and fresh/boldness that attracts vcs
for zed to truly win (at least in sequioa's eyes) they will need to completely take over vscode as the new default, and that will require a big lead when it comes to collaboration and ai
for those who just caught the headline, the real gem here isn't the investment, but what zed's doing different: rather than using git for version control, they're announcing deltadb which incrementally stores all changes as crdt [1] while being interopable with git.
this feels pretty important; git is definitely not the right primitive for version control with ai and that pain is obvious with existing solutions. zed seems to be going all in on collaboration with realtime, git, and now something in between and it'll be interesting to see where they end up-to me three solutions feels overcomplicated but that may be necessary given how teams work now.
Ehh Zed tried to push the collaborative editing before the AI hype was thing (that blog post is from 2022), and seemingly everyone outside of Zed developers promptly ignored the idea.
The Zed developers quickly refocused on milking the AI cow.
I'll argue git is plenty good, and there are a lot of people who don't understand it very well. The ones talking about Github PRs as if they were related to Git in any way most definitely don't.
