Zed Industries

An ongoing journey

It's been an absolute blast to be part of Zed. I am undoubtedly confident this is the most experienced and gnarly (in the best sense) team I have ever been a part of. Folks from this group have literally created foundational tech that many humans on this planet rely on (e.g., Electron & Tree-sitter to name a few!).

It has also been super challenging to learn a bunch of new things, from a whole new programming language (Rust), to designing for possibly one of the most intricate types of products ever, full of little details and subtle interactions. A new world of balancing keyboard and mouse-based interactions, dropping frames, native desktop apps, and way more has opened up to me... and I am soaking it all up.

Aside from the hundreds of PRs sent to the repository thus far, I'm proud that in just under a year and a half, I've already shipped a collection of very relevant things. From maintaining the zed.dev site to a bunch of feature releases within Zed itself, here are some of the projects I've been part of thus far: I've been part of thus far:

Way more to come

Still very involved with Zed and stoked to see what the future holds for this product and team. I feel like it is a very well-positioned product at this moment when AI has found in software development one of its most powerful use cases. So… yeah, letting it rip!

At the AI Engineer World's Fair in San Francisco with the team!
