🚀 Ah, behold the dawn of the AI-enhanced IDE that's faster than a cheetah on Red Bull, Zed! 🤖 Built with the elegance of a Rusty nail and the open-source charm of an "adventure game" where the first task is finding the download button. But fear not, for your wallet will still feel lighter as you embark on this "free" journey of agentic editing! 💸

My experimental ai art installation is now online for #aiide . Come and draw some inspirational sketches and watch 0DayDreams draw interpretations of it ✍️✨
I am in Edmonton, Alberta. Gonna give my talk this morning at #AIIDE and then I'm going to presumably see a bunch of interesting talks on AI in games and hang out with a bunch of people whose work I've been following forever but have never met IRL!!!
