Hired Through GitHub: Part 2 - Zed Blog From the Zed Blog: More stories from the open source contributors who became core team members.

Before we were on the same team, they made Zed better.
We’re grateful to build alongside @smitbarmase.com and Bennet.

zed.dev/blog/hired-t...

Zed has raised a $32M Series B, led by Sequoia Capital.

We’re full speed ahead making a great editor, but there’s a bigger picture: we're building DeltaDB, a new kind of database for collaborative coding.

Early days, but the vision is clear: zed.dev/blog/sequoia...

So many things are impossible only because someone told you they were impossible and you believed them

This kept with me, nowadays when making websites outside of work I still make sure to reduce the size as much as possible.

Whenever for work I get to work on websites using React or other heavy libs, see the large bundles..

I can't help but think how many seconds it would've taken to load in 56k

we’re considering that, thanks for the motivation. i will keep you updated.

```jsonc
{
"context": "vim_mode == insert",
"bindings": {
"ctrl-e": ["editor::MoveToEndOfLine", { "stop_at_soft_wraps": false }]
}
}
```

thanks for clarifying! in vim insert mode, we follow the same behavior as neovim, which is to "insert the character below the cursor". this is likely to stay as is 😄, but it's configurable, so you can add the following to your keymap.json to change it:

hey amos, smit from the zed team here. just to clarify, when you say "end of the line", do you mean the end of the last line? ctrl-e should go to the end of the current line on all keymaps in non-vim mode.

Thanks for your feedback. This is fixed now: github.com/zed-industri...

can you make it available in india?

hey kenton! i'm from the zed community team. we recently fixed that in 0.176.1. can you try this on the latest zed?

We engineered Zed to be instantly responsive, but what's faster than instant? Anticipating your next move.

Introducing edit prediction, powered by Zeta, our new open-source language model. 🚀

thanks for the recognition! big shoutout to the team, especially @mydeathmachine.bsky.social, for their support. excited to keep contributing and making zed better!

2/3: The quality of their issue and PR writeups has been exceptional. To date, 27 of their pull requests have been merged, with an additional 2 currently under review. We can't thank you enough for helping to make Zed better for everyone. Your work has not gone unnoticed!

1/3: We want to recognize an outstanding community member. @0xtimsb reached out to us to express their interest in helping make Zed better. Shortly after, we immediately saw PRs coming in that addressed bugs and added quality-of-life features.

for right, clicking the home button won't directly scroll to the top, right? it would need a second click for that, correct?

i don't want that annoying twitter issue where you open a feed, and it automatically scrolls to the top, losing the post that was right in front of your eyes.

🚀 Introducing Zed v0.165!

Just as you can split editor panels, you can now split the terminal panel.

Special thanks for PRs from:
- @0xtimsb.com: Project panel fixes
- Hawkbawk: file_scan_inclusions
- omennia: Task output
- AidanV: Vim resize motions
- helgemahrt: Vim unmatched motions
- clwainwright: Python doc highlights
- Techatrix: LSP code_actions_on_format

oh yes, i forgot about that. it's good that this option exists.

i think it will be hard for people to adjust to reddit-style comments. i like it tho.

i'm loving bsky so far

you forget: make it work on safari
