Now

Over at Zed, we rewrote the entire agent panel and launched a completely new protocol for agent/client connections, ACP. That was pretty intense on my end as I was juggling that track of work with essentially everything else—from giving the team support on any other design-intensive task, to marketing, and hiring. Pretty proud of the launch, and looking forward to getting into exploration mode for a new phase of AI in Zed, as well as revising other surfaces within the app leading up to 1.0.

At some point this month, I had my first guest appearance on a podcast! Good buddies Wilhelm & Matt invited me over to chat on their "You've Been a Bad Agent" show. You can hear my episode here. It was a blast and definitely a different experience being publicly interviewed! They're awesome, though. If you're looking for a place to keep track of all the fast-moving AI things, that's a great pod to listen to.

Back home after almost two whole months of traveling. It's been a wholesome experience, I will say. This included: Zed's Agent Panel and Agentic Engineering releases, visiting multiple cities in Croatia, and then San Francisco for the AI Engineer World's Fair, where I met a bunch of cool folks and had tons of brain-heavy conversations.

Weirdly, I think I'm sort of excited to return to my routine a bit for the next few months. Just focus a lot, ship a ton, exercise regularly, do some light renovations in my kitchen, and overall, live a bit of a mundane life until the travel and moving itch comes back with full force.

In Europe at the moment, after a whole week of hacking with the Zed team in Utrecht during Rust Week. A couple of weeks ago, we released Zed's Agentic Editing and it's probably the most relevant project of my career so far. Lots happening; many things to look forward to.

Just came back from Boulder, in the US, for a whole week of hacking on AI with the Zed team. We're running our Agentic Editing private beta, and it's been a wild ride. We're very close to the general audience launch. Also, somewhat recently, I put out a blog post on Zed's site about Edit Prediction's subtle mode: "Out-of-your-face AI" — check it out! Just bathed in everything AI, which is a bit crazy.

Excited to be in Europe the whole next month, and also to be meeting the Zed team again for Rust Week in Utrecht!

Work-wise, things are moving fast over at Zed. We just recently launched Edit Prediction, and it's probably the most significant project of my career so far. I'll write something more detailed about it from the design standpoint soon, but in the meantime, check out this Twitter thread I put together with some nuggets. Next up: a lot more AI-related coolness.

Personally, though, it's been quite challenging for me to deal with the velocity of information these days, particularly when it comes to AI. It's hard to stay grounded, balanced, and maintain somewhat of a peaceful mindset. But cool trips might happen this year! Excited about that. I'm certain that I'll hit Europe again; maybe the US, too!

These past few months have been a bit of a whirlwind. I just recently came back home from a 2-month-long trip, visiting different cities and countries, with the goal of scouting places I'd like to move to in the near future. It's a change I've been craving.

The trip included a week-long stop in Montreal to meet the whole Zed team, which was super fun and productive. We hit RustConf, which was my second conference of the year after React Conf in Las Vegas. Lots of swag—I love it.

Coding-wise, it's been interesting to learn, step-by-step, Zed's style of Rust, particularly GPUI. Not having the browser's dev tools to lean on is… different. But I'm really digging it. And, of course, being in the midst of this wild AI race has been challenging but thrilling, too.
