My version of vibe coding 🌝 

We're getting into the nitty gritty chat

have you tried cursor? how zed is better?

Working on @beliefs - most customizable launchpad on Base.Coding FC related stuff.Occasionally trading.Figuring out how to fix my sleep schedule.

I have! “Better” would depend on your definition. IMO it’s like the difference between driving an automatic and a manual transmission; Zed offers much more granular control. I also value Zed’s internals and Vim support more than AI features. 

Sooo my version of vibe coding is just chatting with AI lol 😂

Are you using local models? Or remote w api keys?

Rated 💯 by multiple networks. Fluent in /unglish. Unbothered by /whatday of the week it is.

Allegedly a designer.

I’m using Zed’s proprietary Claude models! It’s really nice, comes out to about $20 per month depending on your usage and how much context you’re using. However Zed does work with local models if you ever want to switch to those.

Would highly recommend at least giving it a shot! Several of the team members working on it also built Atom and Electron. Unlike other AI editors it’s built from the ground up in Rust using their own proprietary UI library, so it’s snappy and well crafted software. 

I was a Neovim guy before Zed, and I will say the biggest hold at the moment might be a Git integration (currently in beta) and true plugins. They have extensions for languages and themes, but general use plugins are still a work in progress. Once those come out it’s gonna be sooooo good :)

Nice! I might take the leap over to Zed and check it out. I’ve heard it’s nice. Anything you miss from VSCode land if that was ever your scene?
