The reason I’ve been using Zed is _because_ there is no screwing about with any of that stuff. For Erlang and Elixir it’s been less problematic than IntelliJ, faster and less gross than VS code, and hasn’t required me to edit configuration files other than to turn the font size up.

Sorry I couldn't hear you through the nvim startup time and keyboard noises while you are waiting for your IDE to start

  • Who restarts their IDE all the time?

    I take more than that to fetch a coffee down the kitchen area.

    • Depends which IDE. IntelliJ stays open permanently. When I used full-fat visual studio it would crash so often that I’d have developed an even worse caffeine problem had I fetched coffee every time it needed restarting.

  • Neovim just gets in the way. I observe the machine code directly through my sacred bond with the machine spirit. And the holy mechanical tentacles connected to my visual cortex.
