Would love to know from a Googler if this is the #1 model that Google engineers use for coding or if they rely on 3rd parties.

I really love Zed and I want them to really succeed. Unfortunately it seems that they are swamped with various things and the issue tracker is not a priority for the team, which fair enough. OSS is a gift and I take it as such. Wild proposal but if someone is willing to start a "user advocate" contributor, I'll be happy to donate monthly so user requests can be taken a look at :)

This is very sad. I bought a PS5 with disc precisely to “own” the games. End of an era, I guess.

Great write-up. As a side note (not a Googler myself and this is 100% my opinion) Lalit’s team was hiring in London, UK. If you are interested in working in low level performance tools, this might be a very cool opportunity!

Super cool project! Curious on how this compares to Meticulous in terms of functionality and approach. Thanks!

Wondering to what degree this was done to support Anthropic’s web crawler. Would assume that having a whole JS runtime rather than just a HTTP client could be rather useful. Just hypothesising here, no clue what they use for their crawler.

I am incredibly happy that Apple has added MTE support to the latest iPhones and perhaps the M5 chips as well (?). If that’s the case I don’t think any other personal computers have anything close to Apple machines in terms of memory safety and related topics (Secure Enclave etc).

Hope other vendors will ship MTE in their laptop and desktop chips soon enough. While I’m very positive about x86_64 adding support for this (ChkTag), it’ll definitely take a while…

In my opinion a worthwhile enough reason to upgrade but feels like a waste given my current devices work great.

Really enjoyed reading this. Thanks for writing it!
