TIL this is a thing. Apparently enough for hardware stores to make these types of signs 😅

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I'm absolutely ecstatic about the surge of contributions to gpui, and all the great examples I'm seeing folks post recently. So excited about the future of #gpui and #rust for native app ui, and hopefully web in the future!

just when you were having a good night... BAM – you have to implement soft wrap

TIL about having different test behavior in dev & release: stackoverflow.com/questions/39... In this case, ensuring a certain dev-only flag panics in any release build if somehow passed

I'm still blown away at the complete masterclass in hardware the m-series macbooks are. Being able to do 6-7 hours of rust development on battery, constantly re-compiling, working with large projects, etc. is just incredible.

All it took for Zed to finally show up on the survey was for me to leave 😜 congrats y’all~

Nice, deep link all the things 🔥

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.

I've been running stable since I left @zed.dev but this one got me downloading preview to get early 🤩 nice @cirw.in github.com/zed-industri...

nice

via @gazit.me: surma.dev/things/js-to... What a joyous, nerdy dive down the rabbit hole (A great looking blog too)

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)_/¯

New @zed.dev settings ui is 🔥 I found all sorts of settings I didn't even know existed. Nice job y'all!

Going to be at Universe 25? Come see what the Next team has been cooking 🍳

Hah, I’ve never heard this, but that totally seems right in my experience.

Imagine killing such a beautiful, readable menu just so a few items could have icons 💀 macOS 26 feels more windows than ever

Oh man, this is so exciting 🤞 gpui being published on crates.io unlocks so much potential crates.io/crates/gpui/...

But if there is anyone grinding day and night to get us there it is @rad.gendervibes.online ❤️

Yes

made a Minority Report style magnification loupe shader in Metal

@ishadeed.com's anchor positioning article is so good! ishadeed.com/article/anch...

Visual brilliance

big steps for luna! for the first time you can save & load files! Baby steps... (Not sure where that lag comes from in the video, you def don't see that in the app)

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 🤷‍♂️

We did the thing. zed.dev/blog/claude-...

Good night 🌙 and….

back to a lil bit of progress on my design tool tonight... parenting/unparenting works pretty fluidly now!

This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values. If you don't want it, tell them. Social media and support forums. Leadership won't listen to employees. github.blog/changelog/20...

finally wrote a short post about how the "spatial feed" works in Aurora! the spatial feed shows you posts, in real-time, from the neighborhood you're looking at. it's a brand new kind of discovery interface!

atuin has be best mascot 💚 look at this lil guy

I'll never not stop to appreciate SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

metal as hell

of course there is no way to turn off the awful horizontal scrolling in the figma layer list :(

I opened figma's Make to try it – I had an annoying task I wanted to automate so I thought I'd give it a shot. I closed the tab immediately once I realized it was writing typescript, not actually building out elements in figma 😅 I wonder if they found that llms just can't work with their api?

This is incredible. More software should look like this 🔥❤️

I... don' t think that is how you are supposed to do it claude

iykyk

so like, what is the deal with no images in dms on bsky??

One of the weirdest things about not being at zed is not seeing "Restart to update Zed" 7 times a day. Something feels off 😅

This is, by far, the best Product Design job offer I’ve seen in a very long time: sudowrite.com/jobs/designer

For the last 10 years I’ve been wanting a chance to design the future—not tomorrow, or the next thing, but 3 things after that. The 5 year horizon. To explore design fiction, maybe even a bit of science fiction? Tomorrow, I get to give it a shot with my first day @githubnext.com !

It's been forever since I really used VSCode so I thought I'd try getting it set up all comfy like for me. Pretty happy with where I got this for now.

Anyone tried one of these (or maybe there was a gen before this?) minimalcompany.com

Is there _any_ successful (read: can be daily driven) smart tv os firmware hack or high quality dumb OLED tv? Willing to buy something new, and get my hands dirty, but not to constantly have to maintain something.

Working on an IMGUI reading list to consume over the next few weeks. Additional links & ideas welcome! nate.rip/lists/immedi...

About to live my best NEET life for the next few days 🤓

Today is my last day at @zed.dev. Wild, huh?! What a fun way to spend the last 4 years, building an editor from the ground up with this incredible team. I'm moving on to do something I've wanted to do for a long time – vision & speculative design work, full time! More soon 🙂
