Zed has raised a $32M Series B, led by Sequoia Capital.

We’re full speed ahead making a great editor, but there’s a bigger picture: we're building DeltaDB, a new kind of database for collaborative coding.

This kept with me, nowadays when making websites outside of work I still make sure to reduce the size as much as possible.

Whenever for work I get to work on websites using React or other heavy libs, see the large bundles..

I can't help but think how many seconds it would've taken to load in 56k
