Just published a new post on what I've been up to professionally for the past five months: maxdeviant.com/posts/2025/h...
It's fairly high-level, but I'd love to do some more deep-dives on some of the learnings from rebuilding Zed's backend.

How do y'all deal with packaging secrets for desktop app?
Say I'm working on a rust app that reads "FOO_SECRET" or such from some env – when I package the dmg, what are my options to keep that secret secure?

@zed.dev is there any way to exclude certain patterns from showing in the diff view?
For example: "Don't show me Cargo.lock, bun.lock, etc" when viewing the diff.
I'd love to be able to do this (or even just default collapse them) as I don't care about the changes in these files.

today we landed a @svelte.dev feature i'm pretty stoked about — we call it 'forking', and it lets you run state changes offscreen and later choose whether to commit them (e.g. user hovers on a link, preload data in case they click)

This shit is so clowntown. Can y'all just pick a standard already?
We tried at @zed.dev with just `.rules` instead of spurting our name everywhere but that didn't take off ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Compare that to browser.horse, a team of 2 with no funding building a paid product that has effectively 80% of the core functionalities Arc offers.
They might never get $600mil out of it, but it's hilarious how their browser will likely outlive Arc 🤷♂️
