kicking off the day with with a record that i haven't listened for ages! creative, technical, intricate, melodic... a complete package. favorite track by far is "Sun Of Nothing"

last week, @zed.dev released what is likely the most significant project i've ever been part of; truly proud of it! go check out at → zed.dev/edit-prediction

sometimes, it feels right to break the norm: most sites/web apps these days use cmd+K as their search keybinding. however, that isn’t super significant for Zed… but cmd+shift+P is! it triggers the Command Palette, a fundamental Zed element. baking product education on the site!

who doesn't love a good opportunity to use `clip-path`? go check out @zed.dev's latest release to learn how to customize your file icons! highly upvoted issue on the repo landing hot hot

started something I wanted to do for a little while... a "Today I Learned" section on my site! here's the very first entry about a magical SVG capacity I learned from @agu-z.bsky.social daniloleal.co/til/repeatin...

a big pet peeve of mine in this American-dominated world we live in is when, in location inputs, they write City, State. like: "this is obviously in the US, everyone knows"; where the rest of the world writes "City, Country", sorry to all my American friends 😅

2025 seems to be the year of “is work/life balance even a thing?” 😮‍💨 I guess that does not exist anymore at all

What is that _one thing_ that keeps you from being able to daily drive @zed.dev? What was the _one thing_ that made you drop it if you already have it a shot?

i'm building a job posting platform during off-hours, exploring different pieces of tech, and it's been super fun ensuring the whole thing can be navigated super well just using the keyboard. love adding keybinding affordances!

Just made my first ever commit right from @zed.dev 's new commit UI 🚀 Should be coming soon – hopefully within the next few weeks for y'all! 👇 for more details

really, really glad i only started binging Severance this past week. imagine waiting for almost three years after that goddamn cliffhanger, jesus. good show, after all. kinda seeing some Lynchian elements on it. but maybe just biased due to mourning him. 🙁

this is a sad day. few pieces of art have impacted me as much as Lynch's Twin Peaks and the profound philosophies embedded on it. there goes one of the greatest, most creative minds out there.

no show has impacted me emotionally more than The Bear, i guess. three episodes left to wrap up season 3 and I'm a wreck already, goddamn

- Sunday morning: it feels so good to close out all of my open, bookmarked tabs. peace of mind! - Monday, 2 PM: 43 tabs already... damn it.

a curse of Open Source projects is that it's just really hard to separate time for work & time for non-work life stuff. the stream of notifications, issues, and PRs is just absolutely never-ending. it's been a real challenge navigating this 😕

refining the multibuffer design has been super fun! not only we made line numbers clickable, but we also polished the scroll position you get in when jumping to a file, as well as improved the "expand excerpt" affordance significantly 😃

An unspoken truth about the design process: The best work happens when a designer rides a flash of inspiration, and imbues all of their personal joy and curiosity into the design. When you interact with an object made like this, you can feel the enthusiasm given to it. Joy reverberates forward.

little Christmas present for the CSS peeps: @zed.dev will be soon using the new logo! 😊 thanks @nerdy.dev for the help there, really appreciate it

fun weekend little project: started putting down all my favorite records on a list. still have to write notes for each, though... anyhow, it feels nice to have a list i can refer to now! check it out! 😬 what are your favorite records? daniloleal.co/my-world/rec...

fun little recap page we put together this week! it's been a sweet, sweet 2024 🤘

Things are coming along for git ui 😁 #zed

need help / i am curious: which icon, if any, is the clearest to represent the `tab` key?

the daily thought ping pong regarding AI: it's definitely going to kill us all in the next 2-5 years vs. it's so exciting, i can now learn anything much more easily and do way more stuff

ended up thinking about this so much that got inspired to write something up... if you were looking for books, here are a few of them! daniloleal.co/my-world/thi...

São Paulo has both the biggest population of Italians and Japanese people outside of Italy & Japan, respectively
