Ah, a small correction regarding this... What I /meant/ to say in the video was that a lot of the INITIAL code was written this way, so the statement is mostly true for v0.2.3. Since then I've primarily been using vscodium (and recently zed) on my linux laptop, but I still tend to do quick prototyping on the phone when i get a bugreport or a sudden idea.

That part of the video was recorded at 3am as I just wanted to "get it done", which also explains the other mistakes (typos, phrasing). I tried to replace the audio-track of the video when i noticed the phonecoding part after uploading, but turns out that's not really possible, so I figured what's done is done, impractical as it is -- I've been trying to offer this correction when I see it come up.

So my workflow right now is mostly zed and pyright+black, and no AI/LLM except for localization of new strings to languages I don't speak.



Any reason you prefer zed to codium? I've been using codium with vim bindings for a while and am not really keeping up with the new hotness.


Microsoft has been making it harder to run their proprietary python plugin in vscodium, which I was relying on to provide hints from pyright. That's something I didn't want to deal with, so I just jumped ship.

There are some things I miss from codium, and I still capitulate back when editing files with nonstandard indentation because zed doesn't yet have autodetect for that, and also its git-staging / diff-view isn't as good yet, but aside from those it's a mostly alright experience.
