that is actually really cool - I always felt like (and surely am not the only one) that vim is great keybindings but an okay editor. If someone addresses this that'd be incredible.
I was watching thorsten and the primeagen's chat yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XweSqTYdMQ and thorsten was describing a few challenges with translating vim's functionality into zed.
Part of it being that zed doesn't have an intermediate layer between keyboard input and keybindings, so by the time the vim layer is hit it has been translated to a keybindings - that limitation kind of put me off.
Here in Spain, I pay €35/month for weekly piano lessons for my daughter. She loves it and we are really happy with her teacher as well. All from the public music school.
With news like these, I always take the lesson: Nothing free lasts forever. If you are not paying for the product, the product doesn't last for you. You will have to migrate or pay eventually. They don't owe you anything if you don't pay.
Every big company has (and if they don't, they should) style guides. In Ruby people tend to use something like Rubocop (which is a static code analyzer/linter) to agree on a style. That will even be added as a default in Rails 8.
You are welcome m1keil. It did come at exactly the right time. It is a bit dated but still holds strong. I also like his new book called 'The SaaS playbook' which is a bit more for the stage my SaaS is currently in.
This is an extra thing on top of everything they made. I praise them for not adding any extra costs. It is never enough for some people. They have a one off price for so much stuff. Absolutely no brainer for a lot of people.
Thanks Ryan. You made me love Rails and to be passionate about coding. I’m still working every day in it and still love it every single day. I have a one man SaaS that is providing for me and my family for the last 9 years.
Zed is made by people who used Vim themselves.
