I'm a month into Zed and loving it. Multibuffers 🪄

@zed.dev + claude is S tier for me, maybe slightly lower for people who are heavier into VS Code extensions. The Zed multibuffer is a gamechanger when reviewing agent code, and when refactoring in general

I have no clue if this is going to be fast or memory-efficient at scale, but the querying feels great, and I've completely avoided the complexity of Eloquent relationships and helper tables. Gonna make it work before I make it fast

I think Laravel + single-table design might be groundbreaking stuff, but let me know if you've seen any projects do this! I'm currently running it with Inertia and SQLite, but in theory you could easily swap those out

This works because the entire app is written with a DynamoDB-inspired single-table design.

Resources' profile data is denormalized—I duplicate it and store in a JSON column as needed to support access patterns.

DB writes are complex, but my reads seem cheap and extremely easy so far.

The only emotion I associate with exclusive accordions is frustration

I wish we could write labels without `for`, or with for-nearest="true", to make the browser walk the tree in depth-first order looking for the nearest form control to associate

They say "don't come to wirecon unless you're a real livewire head"

I hear "this event is designed for NPTM listeners with no livewire experience"

VS Code snippets are underrated for stuff like this. New file in VS code -> shift+cmd+p -> set language mode shell -> start typing keywords for a shell command or alias that you have previously saved as a snippet

It depends on the author's motivations & intentions. Did the author use non-standard syntax because they think it's a better DX? If so, it's a library. Did they use non-standard syntax because of platform constraints, and will they deprecate in favor of the standard? If so, it's still a polyfill IMO

If this is the Laracon game, it might be the screeching tires of a lamborghini delivering the potato to the next player. Call it a Yamborghini
