I'm surprised it's taken this long.

This looks like something I can use for a project I'm working on. Thanks

This is interesting. I should start incorporating this -- it couldn't hurt to do both.

That's when you direct them to the docs.

People rag on StackOverflow for being mean, but it was a good training ground for developing habits that satisfy the social contract of professional spaces.

Belated follow up: I was able to install the agy cli directly without the IDE (perhaps this was a change made in the interim).

I ran it last night and it was just fine as a drop-in replacement for my usage. Disappointment averted with minimal effort on my part (it helps that my typical workflow is pretty mundane/close to the defaults).

This is highly relevant to my interests

Perhaps, but do they handle all the other aspects of refactoring, too?

This is pretty neat. My proficiency with the command line is woefully underdeveloped and seeing examples like this help me see the possibilities.

I've mostly avoided the frustration of dealing with google's product rug pulls over the years by never getting hooked on a non-gmail product.

Alas, I now feel the sting of disappointment.

I guess I haven't tried hosting/sharing anything outside of an unpublished youtube video or GDrive link in a long time.

This has generally been the case, though. As mentioned in the post, "You want solutions that are proven to work before you take a risk on them" remains true and will be place where the edges are found.

New comment by christoff12 in "Zed 1.0"

christoff12 — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:11:42 +0000

I like Zed for the same reason I liked Atom: it's very light. These past few months my workflow has basically consisted of me running Codex + Gemini CLI in the terminal panel and hopping through files in another. Easy-peasy.

It's a nice departure from the visual overstimulation I get while in VS Code (for which I have to take some blame as I need to remove some installed plugins).

There are a couple of features shown in the v1.0 video that I was unaware of and am keen to check out.
