Based on this, what is the outlook for software dev generally, and junior and mid level devs?

Great. They also have other blog posts with product roadmap and research directions https://www.cursor.com/blog/problems-2024 you should look at, and an AI engineer conference talk which goes into their vision: https://youtu.be/6g28WpZbF1I?si=MkHgxMDMjxxOHtcZ

Hey! I really see the power in Zed and the extensibility and simplicity. Great approach.
I posted this above, but want you to see it:
Two areas where I think Zed might fall behind: Cursor Tab is REALLY good and probably requires some finetuning/ML chops and some boutique training data.
For composer, there's going to be more use of "shadow workspace" https://www.cursor.com/blog/shadow-workspace to create an agentic feedback loop/ objective function for codegen, along with an ability to navigate the language server and look up definitions and just generally have full context like an engineer
Also, cursor has a model agnostic apply model, whereas you all are leaning on claude.
Any plans to address this from the core team or more of a community thing? I think some of this might be a heavy lift
I really like the shared context idea, and the transparency and building primitives for an ecosystem

Are there plans for the same in zed?

I think Zed is starting with a more transparent elegant foundations and then they'll build in more optional magic from there. For example, they're working on automatic codebase RAG

Anyone know how the hardware compares to the latest mac laptops for running LLMs locally? (compute and vram, shared or otherwise)

I didn't realize they had that option. In general, I still find absurdity in what an NP can do vs an unmatched doctor. That's entirely incoherent.
Also, it's laudable what rads is doing, but didn't the AMA lobby for less residency spots?

You can't legally practice as a primary care physician without one year of internship, after which you get unrestricted licensed. If you're unmatched, no internship. Is that not correct?

Don't forget ten years of schooling to be bad at formal methods to step out of that decision tree:

And many more.
go to r/residency or other doctor forums if you want to see the most repugnant combination of dunning kruger and condescension

Why have residency spots shrunk per capita? Why do unmatched grads have to work at mcdonalds but NP's and PA's can practice with more latitude than some residents?
