They are in an excellent position to capitalize on the situation: deep pockets and a shady reputation that has kept competition low, so they should have plenty of open position.
Speaking of aesthetics, I switched back to VSCode but I ended up installing the theme "Zed One Theme" and switched the editor's font to "IBM Plex Mono".
I know it's not Zed, but I am pretty satisfied with the results.
You can open large codebases in Jetbrains IDEs and it takes forever to index, but it shouldn't outright crash or completely freeze.
You can open the kernel in CLion. Don't expect the advanced refactoring features to work, but it can deal with a ~40 million lines project folder for example
IntelliJ IDEs are fine with huge files and projects. At certain sizes it'll disable intellisense in active files, but IME stuff like find and replace works fine regardless of size and you can still turn intellisense on if you want.
They'll index for a long time on huge codebases, but I only go through that like once a month max, I just have the editors as always open
For some reason I always had a feeling about him. Perhaps I couldn’t understand why a guy that did so well in life like him found so much time to pick fights on Twitter. With the kind of money he had, I’d pay to be anonymous.
I've seen a lot of "formerly nice guys" falling. It's very hard to let people go and to deal with them if necessary (like using their project). To this date I can't understand why he went this route. He's successful, family guy, very rich. Why going after immigrants, poor, diverse people? Same with Musk. He's a prototype awkward guy yet he started a holy war against all DEI. WTF. Don't get it.
So Ghostty was first publicly released on I think December 27th last year, then 1.0.1, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and 1.1.2 were released within the next month and a half to fix bugs found by the large influx of users, and there hasn't been a segfault reported since. I would recommend that users who are finding a large number of segfaults should probably report it to the maintainers.
Two regions that have been capitalising from skilled programmers and that hardly anyone talks about are the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
